RE: ARBOR DAY 2024

TOCCOA, GA, February 13, 2024 – The City of Toccoa will celebrate Arbor Day on Friday, February 16, 2024. The ceremony will be held at the the Stephens
County Historic Courthouse near the intersection of Sage Street and Tugalo Street at Noon. The community is invited.

In addition to the planting of a new tree, twenty tree saplings will be given away to city residents.

Arbor Day began in 1872 at the suggestion of J. Sterling Morton as a day set aside for tree planting and conservation of the earth’s resources. Toccoa has
been a Tree City USA community since 2004. Tree City USA is thriving in Georgia because of the strong partnership between the Arbor Day Foundation and the Georgia Forestry Commission. Toccoa is proud to be one of 112 certified Tree City USA communities in the state.
