(Brainerd, MN) — With the unfortunate cancellation of the Northland Arboretum’s Arbor Day Festivities due to weather, Spring will still be celebrated at the Arb.

Everyone is invited to stop by the Arboretum to pick up a free tree sapling to plant and submit their name in a drawing for a kayak donated by Crow Wing Kayaks. The kayak winner will be named on June 1st.

The silent auction will be held virtually now through May 13th at www.northlandarb.org, with items being able to be viewed on the Arboretum’s Facebook page. All proceeds will benefit the member-supported, non-profit organization aimed at connecting our community to nature and protecting our natural environment.

During the month of May, one can become a member of the Arb or renew your membership and a tree will be planted at the Arboretum in your honor. Memberships start as low as $30.
