2008 Arbor Day Tree Sale
The annual tree sale will be held Saturday, April 26 and May 3, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., in front of the Highland Water Building on 11000 North near 5600 West. To better facilitate this year’s sale, ONLY Highland City residents can purchase the first Saturday, April 26th. As this is a no profit service the city provides to its residents, we want to make sure you have first choice. You will need a driver's license or a utility bill to identity yourself as a Highland City resident. We will only accept checks and cash (no credit/debit cards).
Additionally, there will be an 8 tree maximum purchase. Any trees not sold the first Saturday will be available for purchase the next Saturday, May 3rd. This last day will be open to anyone, including Highland residents. If you would like more information about the Arbor Day activities please contact Emily Gillingwater, Highland City Community Enhancement Coordinator, at 756-5751, ext. 4523 or email emily@highlandcity.org
