Vestavia Hills celebrated Arbor Day 2000 on February 21st by planting two trees in Byrd Park adjacent to Vestavia Hills Elementary School East. Pack 352 Den 5 of the Boy Scouts of America, led by Sylvia McPherson, planted an oak tree to kick off the week. Pack 352 Den 2, led by Marilyn Summerlin, planted a dogwood tree to end the week. Each den buried at the base of each tree a time capsule listing their names and the date of the arbor week observance. The Vestavia Hills Tree Commission was formed to serve the community and to make Vestavia Hills a better place to live.
Citizens are welcome to give suggestions, ask questions, and offer their own expertise.
