On December 9, 2025, DeKalb County recognized the importance of our community’s trees through this Arbor Day Proclamation:

"Now, therefore, we, the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Commissioners, on behalf of DeKalb County and its more than 780,000 citizens, do hereby proclaim that we celebrate Arbor Day in DeKalb County and urge all residents to celebrate by planting trees, engaging in community conservation efforts, and recommitting to the care and protection of our local environment."

Our February newsletter shared information about Arbor Day, with links to the Georgia Forestry Commission, Keep Georgia Beautiful, and Trees Atlanta.  We also included volunteer opportunities to plant trees for Arbor Day through Trees Atlanta.
