During an Arbor Day ceremony on April 26, Beverly Hills City Councilmembers, officials, parents and children gathered at Roxbury Memorial Park to celebrate the city’s environmental efforts, plant a California Live Oak and release handfuls of bugs into a nearby garden.
The ceremony marked Beverly Hills’ 40th year being named Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation, but according to Urban Forest Manager Ken Pfalzgraf, greenery has been part of the city’s identity since its inception.
