The City of Turlock has a long tradition of celebrating Arbor Day — over 25 years — and a little rain didn't dampen Turlock's tree-loving spirit this year. Students in Cunningham Elementary's after-school program worked alongside Turlock Parks, Recreation, and Public Facilities employees on Wednesday to plant 13 Blue Aptos Redwoods in honor of National Arbor Day. Arbor Day is an annual observance that celebrates the role of trees in our lives and promotes tree planting and care.
