MARGARET BURNS MEMORIAL

ARBOR DAY PLANTING

April 13, 1999

A Stella Pink Dogwood Tree was planted in honor of Hanover's Arbor Day expert, Peg Burns. Former Principal of Cedar School and an avid gardener she started our program providing every fourth grader in Hanover with a sapling to plant at home. We still continue this practice, naming the Arbor Day program after Peg.

The special visitor joining us was Twig, a Treeture Creature TM.

Thank you for joining us at the bandstand for fun, learning, and a warmhearted remembrance of our friend, Peg.

ARBOR DAY PLEDGE: "As a citizen of the United States of America I pledge myself to try in every way I can to conserve its natural resources."

Arbor Day started in Nebraska in 1872 to fill the vast open spaces. Our National Tree is the OAK. The WHGC logo is the DOGWOOD.
