Several yearly celebrations had to be cancelled in 2020 because of the pandemic, including La Crosse’s annual tree planting ceremony for Arbor Day. But this year, Arbor Day is back, with kids and grownups gathering at the city’s Badger Hickey Park on Friday morning to plant a linden tree near the playground.

Northside council member Andrea Richmond read a proclamation from the mayor’s office, celebrating La Crosse’s status as a Tree City, USA.
