Greencastle Parks and Recreation celebrated Arbor Day, which was April 29, 2022, by planting new trees over two days.

On Thursday, April 28, Greencastle Parks and Recreation partnered with Jamie Herd and Tara Garrett of Putnam County Comprehensive Services, along with PCCS tree planters Casey, Joe, John, Thomas, and Tommy, to plant a Bir Oak in Robe Ann Park. Also assisting were park staff members David Bault, Rick Long, Mac McCammack, and DePauw University Bonner Scholar Haleigh Menendez. The trees were planted in the southeast corner of the park, near the aquatic center.

On Friday, April 29,  the Greencastle Parks and Recreation Department planted four trees in the southwest corner of the park. With the Mayor of Greencastle, who recited the proclamation honoring National Arbor Day, are Civic League representatives Kate Knaul and Kristen Wells, in addition to park staff member, David Bault.

The four-tree planting is the result of a generous gift from the Greencastle Civic League.
