The city of Newcastle will celebrate Arbor Day with a tree-planting event Oct. 10.
From 9 a.m. to noon, volunteers will plant more than 20 trees at Gleneagles Park, 8230 154th Ave.
The city will provide refreshments, tools and gloves. Volunteers can earn community service hours.
Arbor Day is in April, but the city celebrates it now due to better planting conditions. The city’s annual celebration is one of the reasons the Washington State Department of Natural Resources recognizes Newcastle as a Tree City USA community.
