Arbor Day
Each year for the last 22 years, WPBF has provided a tree for planting during a school program to celebrate Arbor Day. Under the leadership of our president, Dorothy Schere, and Arbor Day chair Beth Roach, we work with school principals and teachers to involve students in understanding the importance of trees to the environment. For Arbor Day 2006, students at the White Plains Middle School at Eastview planted a Kwansan cherry tree. In past years, students have participated in the planting of a flowering crabapple tree at Post Road School, and Kwansan cherry trees at White Plans High School, Ridgeway, George Washington, and Church Street elementary schools.
