5. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Council member Coy contacted Mr. Lagin regarding having the Land Trust come to Arbor
Day and bring oak tree seedlings. We will ask for around 60. They will bring handouts
as well. Mr. Lagin will call Ms. Coy.
Mr. Lagin was invited to the City of Vero Beach where he discussed our Champion Tree
program with them. He showed them all our forms. They were very excited.
Mr. Lagin spoke with the Pelican Island Garden Club about the Plant Sale in March 2008
at Riverview Park. They would like to be involved. There was much discussion about
getting other groups involved, who should sponsor the event, and what to do with money
made from the event. It was determined that at the May meeting the Board would
decided if the Tree Board wanted to sponsor the event or help someone do it. The Tree
Board needs to make a plan to present to Council and get their approval on the event.

Arbor Day - At this meeting there were only four drawings to judge so it was decided to
