On Friday, October 4th the Blue Rapids Tree Board and the City of Blue Rapids will hold their official dedication ceremony of the new Arboretum by planting a tree on the Square at 10:30 a.m.
Derek DeBoer, Tree Board President, said having an Arboretum in the City has always been an idea of his.
The Arboretum will offer residents and visitors of Blue Rapids an educational and recreational opportunity while showcasing the beautiful trees and parks throughout the City. DeBoer said they hope to use the Arboretum to help assist with growing the community.
