Dedication of Campus Landscape Barrier and Arbor Day Celebration
On Friday, April 27, 2012, Century Villages at Cabrillo will celebrate Arbor Day through the Dedication of its Campus Landscape Barrier. The Barrier is comprised of carefully selected trees planted along the western perimeter of the Villages at Cabrillo campus. The Dedication ceremony will commemorate the planting of 191 trees which serve as a natural filter of localized air pollution to the 1,000 residents of the campus, including more than 400 children. City of Long Beach 7th District Councilman, James Johnson, will serve as Master of Ceremonies. The community event is open to the public. Please RSVP to Beulah Ku at 310-642-2003.
