Arbor Day is Saturday, June 4 at Kildonan Park.

Trees Winnipeg will hand out nearly 2,000 trees, involving 25 species, to those who purchased them through the ReLeaf program, which sells affordable quality tree packages that count for the city’s Million Tree Challenge.

Guests can also get a bird’s-eye view from the tallest trees in the park by learning how to safely climb a tree or get a lift in a bucket truck.
