Arbor Day Celebration -
Each year the Town sponsors a poster contest. The Poster Contest is open to children in grades K through 5 who live in Clifton Park or attend Shenendehowa Schools. Prizes are awarded at Town Hall.

The "Plant a Tree for the Newborn" program is offered to parents of children born between Arbor Day last year and Arbor Day of the current year (Arbor Day is always the last Friday in April). Parents can register their baby for a "birth" tree (seedling tree), which the office of Parks, Recreation and Community Affairs will give to parents the week after Arbor for planting on their property.
