Celebrate Arbor Day planting trees at Lewis Creek Park

Bellevue's Arbor Day celebration will kick off on September 22, 2025, at Lewis Creek Park, inviting community members to join in tree planting efforts. This initiative aims to enhance local ecosystems while promoting environmental stewardship and sustainability. Volunteers will play a crucial role in improving the park's landscape, fostering a greener community. Arbor Day, established by Julius Sterling Morton in 1872, highlights the significance of trees, particularly in urban settings. The city encourages participation to strengthen community ties and raise awareness about environmental issues. Bellevue has consistently advocated for green solutions, making this event a key part of its environmental strategy. Last year, similar efforts resulted in the planting of over 1,000 trees, showcasing the impact of community involvement. This year’s event promises to further this legacy of sustainability and active community engagement.
