The Village of Ballston Spa has been designated a Tree City USA from the Arbor Day Foundation and will be celebrating Arbor Day this year on Saturday, May 1, 2021 at 10 am by planting a new street tree in front of O’Brien’s Pharmacy, 4 Front Street.

The Village of Ballston Spa formed the advisory Park and Tree Board to make recommendations on trees and other plantings in the Village’s parks and along village streets. The five-member Board has representatives from six community organizations: Ballston Spa Business and Professional Association (BSBPA), Rotary, Lions Club, House and Garden Club, Friends of the Kayaderosseras and Saratoga County Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE). Each of these organizations has a long history of caring for and planting trees, shrubs and flowers in the Village and have come together to beautify and maintain the parks and street trees. 

Social distancing and masks will be required per NYS Covid 19 guidelines.
