Each year, the City of Lebanon in conjunction with Tree City USA, celebrations Arbor Day! Lebanon Recreation determines if a tree will be planted in the parks, at one of the local schools, or another destination in need of some shade in years to come.
We look forward to another virtual celebration with you this year on Friday, April 30th. The City of Lebanon has been a member of Tree City USA since 2004. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.
Trees are assets to our community when properly planted and maintained. They help improve the visual appeal of our neighborhoods, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.
Thank you to all those who help make our participation in this program possible!

This year, please join Lebanon Recreation, Arts, and Parks for a special virtual Arbor Day celebration that will be live-streamed on Facebook at 12:00pm on Friday, April 30, 2021, from the Smith Field Playground in West Lebanon. The ceremony will include the reading of an Arbor Day proclamation. Three new trees will be planted this year which include two Autumn Blaze trees and one Shade Locust tree. We want to thank the Canillas Community Garden Club for donating to the tree planting event. Please check back for additional information on when the tree planting will take place.
If you have questions about this event, please contact the Lebanon Recreation, Arts, and Parks Department.
Arbor Day 2019 was celebrated with the Mount Lebanon School Students and staff. A new maple tree planted by Lebanon Recreation & Parks in the newly reestablished tree circle.
Thanks to generosity of Canillas Committee Gardeners, CCBA, Northern Nurseries and Fox Tree and Landscape Services, we were able to plant two new trees: a Red Oak and Maple.
Lebanon Recreation & Parks would like to thank Fox Tree & Landscape Services, the Department of Public Works, and Millican Nurseries, Inc. of Chichester, NH for preparing for the Arbor Day Celebration
