The City of Boston and the Massachusetts Arborists Association will join together in Franklin Park for the city’s official Arbor Day celebration. Seven major tree companies with over 30 arborist volunteers will participate in the event. Spectators will get a firsthand look at the arborists’ tree pruning expertise including tree climbing, bucket work, and crane work. In addition, participants will also help to eradicate one of New England’s most invasive plants, the Glossy Buckhorn.

The day will include the thrill of a tree climbing contest being held at 1 p.m. outside Franklin Park’s White Stadium for professional arborist volunteers from Arborway Tree Care, Tree Tech Inc., Royer Tree Service, Inc., C&C Maltby Tree Care, Barrett Tree Service East, Inc., Northern Tree Service, Inc., and Hunt Landscape Co. Mayer Power Products will provide prizes for the winners of the tree climbing contest.
