The Aurora Community Arboretum was recognized with the Ontario Horticultural Association’s (OHA) 2015 Environmental Award this month.

The Arboretum was recognized for their efforts in creating an “urban oasis” in Aurora, a focus area for passive recreation, programs for nature appreciation and education, and their ongoing efforts to promote “eco-awareness.”

The OHA said they have noticed “community volunteers who contribute to plantings at the Arboretum take personal ownership and return often to the Arboretum. Those who choose a commemorative tree and participate in its planting also return often to honour the site.”
