For more than three decades, Boys Town has proudly honored Arbor Day with a cherished tradition—planting trees and reaffirming our commitment to environmental stewardship through an official proclamation signing. This annual celebration is more than just a ceremony; it’s a living testament to our dedication to creating a greener, more vibrant future for generations to come.
This year was no exception. Last week, members of the Boys Town community came together on our Home Campus to continue this legacy, planting new trees in partnership with our longtime friends at the Arbor Day Foundation and their Tree City USA® program. Together, we are helping to grow a healthier and more sustainable campus—one tree at a time.
The event was a reminder of the power of collaboration and the importance of nurturing the natural world around us. Trees do more than beautify our campus—they provide shade, improve air quality, support local wildlife and create a peaceful environment where our youth and staff can thrive.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Joe Prokupek, our Manager of Agriculture & Horticulture, and his incredible team. Their hard work and passion for caring for our green spaces make this event possible each year and ensure that our campus remains a thriving, welcoming place for all.
At Boys Town, Arbor Day isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s a reflection of our values and our vision for a better, greener community. 🌳
