It’s a habit of the City of Wetumpka to celebrate Arbor Day in early May by dedicating trees to the memory of someone who made a difference in Wetumpka.
It’s a project forester Ron Hilyer has been in the middle of for almost three decades. The city approached him to help celebrate Arbor Day planting trees.
