Marble Falls will celebrate Texas Arbor Day at 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 7, in Johnson Park with a proclamation and the planting of several new trees in the park.
Observed on the first Friday in November, Texas Arbor Day encourages planting and caring for trees suited to the state’s climate. National Arbor Day is observed April 24, 2026.
Mayor John Packer will read the official Arbor Day proclamation, followed by the planting of bald cypress trees along Backbone Creek at Johnson Park, 230 Avenue J in Marble Falls,.
“Texas Arbor Day is about more than planting trees. It’s about investing in the future of our community and the environment we all share,” Parks and Recreation Director Lacey Dingman said in a recent media release. “As the old adage goes, the best time to plant a tree was yesterday– the next best time is today. We’re proud to bring residents together to celebrate the natural beauty that makes Marble Falls such a special place to live.”
