The city of Lilburn will honor two citizens during its Arbor Day celebration on March 16. 

Former mayor Diana Preston will be honored with the dedication and planting of a tree, city officials said. And, the late Diane Bronk, a longtime city volunteer, will be honored with the dedication of a bench.

The event will take place 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. in the city park.

The first 50 families in attendance will receive a 16-inch seedling to take home.  Refreshments will be provided by the Lilburn Woman’s Club. 

McKinley Landscape donated the tree being planted at this year’s event.
