On April 29, Ada's third graders got a free tree seedling and tree planting tutorial from the Village of Ada. The mayor, village employees, and members of the tree commission met with students on the south patio to celebrate Arbor Day. The village came prepared with white swamp oak seedlings for the students to plant and the students came prepared with newly-learned information and drawings of trees.
The occasion was both fun and formal. Mayor Dave Retterer read the following proclamation #2022-01:
