Mt. Lebanon will celebrate Arbor Day and its renewed status as a Tree City USA with a celebration at Howe Elementary School at 11 a.m. on April 23. This year is the third year the town met requirements for Tree City status. To achieve, a community must have a forestry commission, budget a requisite amount of public funding for forestry and have an annual Arbor Day Celebration.
The celebration will include a flag ceremony by the Girl Scouts, student poetry readings and musical performances, along with reading of a proclamation from commission President John Daley. The event will culminate in a tree planting -- a northern redbud, which is native to Pennsylvania -- and the raising of the Tree City USA flag, which will fly at Howe for the rest of the year.
Howe students created "Trees Are Terrific ... In Cities and Towns" posters to publicize the celebration; some are on display at MoJoe Coffee House, Mt. Lebanon Boulevard.

Two of the best Lebo tree streets are: Old Farm (off of Fruithurst) and Austin. If you need to lower your blood pressure drive or better walk down those streets on a spring day and soak up all the newly budded green. The trees create a cathedral effect over the roads.
I would add Woodland to the list. The towering Oak trees on that street are an amazing sight.
