Antigua and Barbuda’s annual Arbour Day celebration returns Nov. 26, with the Department of Environment preparing to welcome residents for the much-anticipated opportunity to collect fruit trees and take part in environmental activities.

The event begins at 9 a.m. on the department’s lawn, where mango, guava, lime, soursop, avocado and tangerine will be among the plants available.

Residents who purchase two plant bags at $2.50 each will receive a tree, according to the department.

This year’s advertised selection also includes cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, tamarind, golden apple, custard apple, lemon, sugar apple and Surinam cherry.

The celebration combines tree planting with public education, with climate change workshops scheduled alongside music, food and drinks, and prizes.

The department is encouraging families and friends to attend and support efforts to make Antigua and Barbuda greener.
