Legacy Celebration
Every fall, Tree Davis invites folks from across the region to reflect upon the goodness that comes from communities and trees. The trees that we sit under now were planted with great effort by previous generations, so its essential that we acknowledge those efforts and celebrate those that are planting and stewarding our future forests today. It is a fun and festive event held in the serene Tree Davis Memorial Grove.
Join us for the 2024 Legacy Celebration
November 2nd, 2pm - 4pm, Tree Davis Memorial Grove (West Davis)
Now in its fourth year, the Legacy Celebration is a gathering of great community champions and urban greening enthusiasts. We hope you join us for this free event to be inspired and to inspire others. There’s a short program and a lot of time to connect with one another. Please RSVP on our events calendar.
