Weather delays Arbor Day tree planting in Topeka

TOPEKA (KSNT) - Dreary weather has delayed the annual tree planting event for Arbor Day at the Kansas Statehouse.

On Friday, Governor Laura Kelly was in attendance for the City of Topeka's Forestry Division Arbor Day event. While at the event, Kelly signed a proclamation declaring Friday, April 26 as Kansas Arbor Day, according to an announcement made by the city on Facebook.

The city didn't say when the tree planting would be rescheduled. A 5th-grade Arbor Day Poster Contest winner from Osage City was also in attendance.
