Marbleton staff dug a hole and planted the town’s Arbor Day tree on May 17 right before the rainstorm came! They planted a lanceleaf cottonwood at the Marbleton Community Fishing Pond, along with three other lanceleaf cottonwoods and one Canadian cherry, said rec center manager Eddy Delgado and parks-streets supervisor Kara Losik.
