Arbor Day, District Planting Just Around the Corner

Join Us to Celebrate Arbor Day

For the past several years, the Mariemont Tree Advisory Board (TAB) has been ringing in Arbor Day with the planting of a special tree somewhere in the Village. We planted a Northern Red Oak on the corner of Wooster Pike and Oak St., and a Burr Oak set up shop down by the Mariemont Pool parking lot just last year. Each year the Mariemont Elementary School children have helped us celebrate this special time by attending our ceremony and helping us mulch in the tree.

This year, we are so pleased to bring our Arbor Day festivities to the very people who have been our biggest Arbor Day fans - the Mariemont Elementary School! On Friday, April 25, 2025, our Arbor Day ceremony and tree planting will take place on school grounds. Details are still being finalized but

We aim to reserve 25 percent of our budgeted trees for resident requests. Last planting cycle we were able to fulfill all resident requests!

Please visit this link: https://tinyurl.com/ TreeBoardForm which will take you to the form, stamp your entry time, and enter you into the queue. Once you fill it out, you will be emailed a confirmation as well as information about the tree your street will be receiving. The form is always open and available to anyone in any district, but requests for District 4’s fall planting will end May 31.
