Arbor Day 1977
Tree-planting day, Arbor Day, was observed at Fermilab Friday. Employees/users added to the site's 250 acres of woodland by planting about 60 crabtrees and shrubs such as forsythia, burning bush and purple plum. The seventh annual observance was sponsored by Site Services. A native American custom, Arbor Day began in Nebraska in 1972 and has been observed in Illinois since 1887.
