Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 39th Annual Arbor Day Celebration  Saturday, February 21!

While 120 people signed up to receive trees, even more community members showed up to celebrate, learn, and take part in this annual tradition

Thanks to the hard work of our City staff, the Gulf Shores Beautification Board, and all the volunteers and partners who made the event such a success. Your support helped ensure that hundreds of new native trees will soon be taking root throughout our community. 

Planting trees isn’t just about beautifying our city — it's about strengthening it. Along our coast, trees help buffer strong winds, prevent erosion, provide shade, create wildlife habitat, filter pollutants, and reduce flooding. Native species like the ones distributed at our event are especially important, as they thrive in our coastal environment and support a healthier ecosystem for everyone.
