ArborFest 2025, presented by ITC Holding Corp, brought 203 new trees to public right-of-ways in front of homes in the Oakdale and Boston Square Neighborhoods.
This was Friends’ 10th annual spring planting event in partnership with the Mayor’s Greening Initiative and the City of Grand Rapids. Since 2015, we’ve planted over 4,000 trees through this initiative at our annual planting events, ArborFest and Neighborwoods.
Join us at Neighborwoods in the fall to plant even MORE trees in the Oakdale and Boston Square neighborhoods!
