Grand Forks has been designated as a “Tree City” since 1976. There are currently 54 cities across,the state with that title.
As part of the celebration three new trees were planted on the UND campus. There are currently over 6,000 trees on the UND grounds.
The North Dakota Forest Service also distributed spruce seedlings to those in attendance.
