Tree plantings took place throughout the area on April 30 to mark Arbor Day. Patrons at the Ray Township Library bury an ornamental pear tree in the adjacent park. Nearly all of the digging of the hole was performed by the young patrons.

It was planted behind the Linda Verellen Memorial Bench. (Photo by Mike Nicley)
