The Fredericksburg Area Council of Garden Clubs and the City of Fredericksburg celebrated the 37th Annual Arbor Day on Thursday, April 10, 2025, with a special tribute to local environmental champions Anne and Carl Little, along with the organization Tree Fredericksburg.
The event took place at 10 a.m. in Maury Park, located at the corner of William Street and Kenmore Avenue, adjacent to the James Monroe High School football field and just behind the Littles' home. The park served as a fitting venue for honoring the couple whose tireless efforts have transformed green spaces throughout the city.
