Piatt Castle Mac-A-Cheek at 10051 Township Road, West Liberty, is preparing for an Arbor Day program, beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 29.
The free 90-minute program, “Trees: Past, Present, and Future” is ideal for youth groups, families, and individuals who love trees. Attendees will investigate petrified wood in 150-year- old paneling inside the castle, living trees outside and share in a tree planting a tree for the future.
Reservations are recommended and can be made on the Events page at www.piattcastle.org.
Events and other public programs are managed by the Mac-A-Cheek Foundation for the Humanities, a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
The free Arbor Day program is supported by a grant from the Mary Eleanor Morris Fund of the Columbus Foundation, 2023 Seasonal Event Sponsor – Dr. Ronald Alvin Stewart, and Environmental Event Sponsors Sean Alto and Kelly Norman.
