Arbor Day

GREENING UP THE TOWN—Clockwise from left, Oak Park resident Delaney Faul, 7, plants a tree with her dad, Jim Faul, in Gates Canyon Park March 14 at the Calabasas Arbor Day celebration. Delaney shows off one of the seedlings before planting. Calabasas residents Robert Kharitonov, 9, and Ara Yazaryan, 11, put the finishing touches on a sapling. More than 100 oak trees were planted and a composting workshop was held. Journalist Sterling Morton started Arbor Day in the Nebraska Territory in the early 1870s to help populate the flat plains region with more trees. WENDY PIERRO/Acorn Newspapers
