Tree week is a celebration of Lexington’s trees and all the ways trees impact our lives. The week celebrates and synthesizes the roles trees play through creative, informative and fun-filled activities focusing on tree planting, tree care and tree benefits, trees in art and culture, and trees’ roles in our bodies, minds & spirits.
