City of Rehoboth Beach, Rehoboth Elementary to celebrate Arbor Day April 16
April 1, 2026
The City of Rehoboth Beach, in partnership with fourth-and fifth-grade classes at Rehoboth Elementary School, will celebrate Arbor Day on Thursday, April 16. This event is open to the public and will begin at 9 am at Stockley Street Park.
The day will begin with a ceremony that recognizes the grade-level winners of Delaware Forest Service’s Arbor Day Poster Contest. Winners will be presented by the Rehoboth Art League, and all posters will be on display at City Hall. This year’s posters are centered around the theme “Trees are terrific… for people and places.”
Presentations, competitions, and tree plantings will be held throughout the morning. Ashley Melvin from the Delaware Forest Service and the city’s Arborist Mike Lilly will host workshops for the students. The students will be planting two trees in the park this year: a Bald Cyprus and Willow Oak.
The City of Rehoboth Beach is celebrating its 35th consecutive year as a Tree City USA. This designation highlights the city’s commitment to planting and preserving trees through city policy and community efforts.
