Statesboro will become greener this weekend when festivities kick-off for 2012 Arbor Day celebrations. Four live oak trees are scheduled to be planted Friday alongside Blue Devil Way, leading into Statesboro High School, during an Arbor Day Tree Planting Ceremony hosted by The City of Statesboro and The Georgia Southern Botanical Garden. The 11 a.m. ceremony will include an official proclamation by Mayor Joe Brannen, speeches, and the tree-planting itself — done with the assistance of Boy Scouts from local Troop #935.
