McVille celebrated it's Arbor Day, May 29, 2008. This is McVille's 11th year of being a Tree City USA. This year the City also earned a Growth Award.
The ceremony began in Capone's McVille Restaurant by hosting a Tree Care Workshop. Mayor Stanley welcomed the group and attendees. Gerri Makay, ND Community Forestry Specialist was on hand to present a power-point presentation on the subjects of fruit trees, proper planting and tree diseases. Species choices of trees were also reviewed.
Butch Gronaas of The Plant Ranch spoke on his views of landscaping.
Growing your own herbs was also discussed. Everyone who attended received a free herb plant and several handouts on growing herbs. A recipe book for cooking and baking with herbs was also prepared by Committee Member Arneson for distribution.
A good number of residents and members of our area attended the program held at 1 pm. Those also present included the McVille Tree Committee Members of Silas Engebretson, Lynn Kinneberg, Dennis Stenson, Clifford Sateren, and Renae Arneson.
