Fargo students are continuing to celebrate Arbor Day.

More than 240 seventh graders from Discovery and Carl Ben Eielson Middle Schools came together to plant trees in Oak Grove Park.

Arbor Day was on April 24th but students are still learning about the importance of planting trees.

Fargo Park District employees say that it’s important to educate younger generations about preserving nature.

“I just think that having Arbor Day it’s a community event, we love getting volunteers together to get some trees planted and also teach kids about the benefits of trees and the importance of urban forestry and what it does for our community,” says Park Forester Sam DeMarais.

The students planted nearly 100 trees.
