    Celebrate Arbor Day in Olympia Saturday, March 17 2018

    Olympia Loves Trees

    Trees and forests are part of the fabric and identity of our community. In fact, Olympia has been a Tree City USA for 27 years!

    Each year, the City and its partners host a variety of Arbor Day events to celebrate our community trees, honor all of the great work that has been done to maintain them, and join with citizens to plant new trees for future generations.
