    Legacy Tree Program

    The City of Midlothian gives members of the community a chance to help keep Midlothian green, while at the same time honor a group or a loved one, through its Legacy Tree Program.

    History of Arbor Day

    J. Sterling Morton, President Grover Cleveland’s Secretary of Agriculture, established the first Arbor Day in the United States more than 140 years ago. Now it is observed throughout the nation on the last Friday in April.  However, because late fall and winter are the best times to plant trees in Texas, the Lone Star State celebrates the holiday on the first Friday in November.

    While most holidays celebrate something that has already happened and is worth remembering, Arbor Day represents a hope for the future. The simple act of planting a tree represents a belief that the tree will grow to provide us with clean air and water, cooling shade, habitat for wildlife, healthier communities, and endless natural beauty — all for a better tomorrow.

    The City of Midlothian is designated a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation (2022, 2023) in honor of the city's dedication to effective urban forest management.
