Jamestown  (CSi)  Jamestown will be celebrating Arbor Day this year on Friday October 1.

City Forester Erik Laber is encouraging the community to plant trees, and help out at a tree planting event, starting at 9-a.m., at the city water plant location, and with the help of volunteers plant six trees there.

In a news release, Erik says, “Shovels will be provided, but if people so choose to bring a shovel or rake that will ensure there is enough to go around.”

He says, Jamestown Mayor Dwaine Heinrich is preparing an Arbor Day Proclamation.
