Veterans Day is November 11th
Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans usually observed on November 11th. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day in other parts of the world for the anniversary of the end of World War One on Nov 11th 1918.
All recreation facilities and sites will be open for use while all Parks and Recreation Department business offices will be closed.
The Urban Forest Project comes to Albuquerque !
Artists, designers, students and the general public will employ the idea or form of the tree to make powerful visual statements regarding the environment on street banners. The program will provide the platform to raise public awareness for tree planting initiatives and education. The project taps into Albuquerque’s rich heritage in the creative arts by engaging fine artists and designers, as well as students, educators, the business community and the general public. In the spirit of sustainability, the banners will be converted into tote bags and other products that will be auctioned off to raise money for local tree planting efforts.
In order for the project to come to fruition, corporate sponsorship will be critical. PNM, Mesa Del Sol, Lith Excel, Wells Fargo, and Whole Foods have come on board as the first official sponsors. Tree New Mexico is partnering on this effort as our non-profit partner.
World Studio, the conceivers of the project, will be managing the project with the city. They are finding financial and in-kind support to develop this project in Albuquerque. With support from local business and professionals, we can help make our city a nicer place to live, work, and play.
