Florida Arbor Day Celebration

Our 2025 Florida Arbor Day exhibit was placed in the Fernandina Beach public library the week of January 17 and after. Tree-related books were provided by the library and available for check out. The COFB conservation department provided phamphets for the taking which covered myriad topics such as how to select, plant, mulch and maintain trees. This was an opportunity to emphasize the important role trees play in our maritime ecosystem.
