Arbor Day
2026-04-24
Arbor Day this year is Friday, April 24. That week, a number of tree-related events are scheduled in Wilmore. The aim is to continue expanding Wilmore’s lush tree canopy so our city grows healthier, greener, and more delightful as days and years roll by.
Volunteers are needed to help with tree-planting, especially April 21 through 25. Various events are planned, some at Centennial Park and at Woodbreeze Park (the minipark by Woodspointe Way and Jessamine Station Road), and some on the property of Asbury Seminary and the Thomson-Hood Veterans Center. Some trees will be available for planting also on residential properties.
Students, adults, and children ten years and up (if accompanied by adults) are welcome to volunteer for two or three hours (depending on the day and planting schedule). [To help as a volunteer, or for more information, contact Amy Fitch, Director of Parks and Recreation (afitch@wilmore.org) or Howard Snyder, committee chair (has@wineskins.net).
The vision of Trees for Wilmore is long-term, and the focus is on a broad variety of native species, rather than non-native or invasive trees that do damage over time. We aim to plant more than 6,000 trees over the next six years—healthy, beautiful, nurturing trees that may in time grow taller than any of Wilmore’s existing buildings, and will likely outlast most of them. Some trees can continue growing healthily and nurturing the environment for 2,000 years and more, and everyone benefits.
The next regular meeting of Trees for Wilmore will be Thursday, May 28, at 4:00 pm at the Municipal Center. Visitors and new committee members are welcome. (The committee will not meet during April due to the tree-planting activities).
More information about Trees for Wilmore, including upcoming events and the Trees for Wilmore brochure, are available on the City of Wilmore website — https://wilmore.org/trees-for-wilmore/.

Solar Over Wilmore - Dan Glass Pavilion Project RIBBON CUTTING
2026-04-16 12:00 - 13:00 | Wilmore Municipal Center, 210 S Lexington Ave, Wilmore, 40390, United States
Join us for the official ribbon cutting and dedication of the solar panels on the Dan Glass Pavilion behind the Wilmore Municipal Center! There will be solar education, give aways and refreshments to help us celebrate this community funded project!

LATEST UPDATE –

A Give-Back to Wilmore Project – January 2026 Update
Our solar project is complete!
As you can see by the pictures, our Solar Over Wilmore Project at the
Dan Glass Pavilion was completed as of Friday, December 19, 2025.
The crew of Commonwealth Solar LLC under the direction of owner, Dan
Wier, guided the men to install seventy 590-watt solar panels on the roof of
the pavilion in cold but dry weather for a total of 41.3 KW of solar energy
generation. They were also able to run all the wire into the City Hall
building and connect it to the two inverters and the electrical service panel.
Next, we await the Jessamine County Electrical Inspector to come and do
the required inspection. We will announce a Ribbon Cutting ceremony
early in 2026. We will be placing all donors’ names on recognition plaques
at the pavilion and one inside City Hall.
Thanks for your prayers and financial support in 2024 and 2025. I
believe this solar generation rooftop array will become even more valuable
to the city over the next 30 years as the price of electricity creeps upwards.
This will help not only save the city some money but will add to the
sustainability of our wonderful community.
