Arbor Day
This event is in a severe crisis this year due to Garland
County cutting our budget. We must raise $5000 for
this event to happen. If you would like to help, you
can donate here. If you would like to volunteer your
time to make this event possible, please call
501-623-7871.

The Hot Springs/Garland County Beautification Commission, your local Keep
Arkansas Beautiful and Keep America Beautiful affiliate, is pleased to
announce that the date for Arbor Day for the upcoming year will be May 1,
2009. The Arbor Day event in Hot Springs and Garland County was
established as a program to educate our young people on the importance of
trees, and by extension, the importance of the maintenance and care of our
environment, through the use of forestry-related educational activities,
demonstrations, displays and exhibits.
Over the past decade, we have reached over 7,000 students. This year we
foresee the need for additional funding to provide greater educational value.
We are reaching out to you for assistance in purchasing the necessary
educational materials that the children and teachers will be using before,
during and after the May 1, 2009 Arbor Day program. In appreciation of your
charitable contribution, we will recognize you on a large banner at the event,
and on Sponsors pages in the student activity book.
The Beautification Commission sincerely appreciates your support of Arbor
Day. Please help us make Arbor Day 2009 a program that will instill a true
appreciation for trees and the environment in the minds of our young people.
Donations can be securely made via PayPal through our website here or
mailed to the address below.
