Friday was Arbor Day, and the City of Kirksville announced that they recently planted forty-nine new trees at P.C. Mills Park, Memorial Park, McKinney Bark Park, and Spur Pond, which were funded in part through the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Tree Resource Improvement and Maintenance grant program. As a Tree City USA community, the TRIM grant has assisted the City with the planting of trees throughout parks and public spaces, while also educating citizens about tree planting and continued maintenance.
