The City of Atlantic City - Government hosted a meaningful Arbor Day event that brought together students, city departments, and community organizations for a greener future.

Students from Atlantic City's New York Avenue School participated alongside the City of Atlantic City - Government Planning & Development Department and the Shade Tree Committee. Their collaboration, with additional support from the Public Works Department, Midtown Atlantic City CDC, and Atlantic City Police Athletic League Inc., made the event a true community effort.

Together, the group successfully planted four trees outside the Atlantic City PAL Building. The new trees symbolize a commitment to environmental stewardship and a stronger community bond.

The event emphasized the importance of teamwork and civic engagement, highlighting how different sectors of the community can unite for a positive cause.

By planting trees, the participants helped beautify the neighborhood and create a lasting impact that future generations will enjoy.

The trees planted during this Arbor Day celebration are expected to provide shade, improve air quality, and enhance the overall landscape of the Midtown area.

This initiative was not just about tree planting; it was also about teaching students the value of sustainability and the importance of giving back to their community.

Community members and city officials alike praised the event as a successful example of collaboration, education, and environmental responsibility.

The City of Atlantic City continues to prioritize green initiatives, aiming to create a healthier and more vibrant urban environment for all residents.

Events like these demonstrate Atlantic City's dedication to making the city greener and stronger every day.
