\"catalpa
The Spanish village of Mondo\u00f1edo held the first documented arbor plantation festival in the world organized by its mayor in 1594. The place remains as Alameda de los Remedios and it is still planted with lime and horse-chestnut trees. A humble granite marker and a bronze plate recall the event. Additionally, the small Spanish village of Villanueva de la Sierra held the first modern Arbor Day, an initiative launched in 1805 by the local priest with the enthusiastic support of the entire population.–Wikipedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"stormwater\"
Every year for at least the last ten Charlottesville Parks and Rec staff, city leaders, Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards, Druids and others celebrate Arbor Day, often designating a Landmark Tree<\/a>. Today the event was rained out (3 inches of precip before midday). Above, Parks and Rec staff clears out a stormwater drain in McIntire Park downhill from the catalpa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I didn’t get the memo that the event had been rescheduled. Missed the people but the Catalpa<\/a> was there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"tree
Matilda and I took a self portrait with the Catalpa. Charlottesville is recognized as a “Tree City”<\/a> by the Arbor Day Foundation. We are a tree city with a declining percentage of tree canopy. There is work to be done.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
