As part of the Arbor Day celebration, Mayor Larry Milton will declare April 7, 2023, as Arbor Day in Branson while the City’s TreeKeepers, a local volunteer group that helps take care of trees, and other volunteers plant a canopy tree at the Park. All area residents, community members and businesses are invited to participate in the Arbor Day festivities.
