CUERO, Texas — November 23, 2025
The Cuero Tree Board marked Texas Arbor Day with a ceremony that blended recognition, gratitude, and community pride. Earlier this year, more than 70 trees were planted across Cuero, a project that has already begun transforming the city’s landscape. Today, the Board honored two major contributors whose leadership and support made the effort possible.
Two benches overlooking the new plantings were dedicated:
- REPSOL, acknowledged for its corporate commitment to environmental stewardship and investment in Cuero’s green future.
- Sara Post-Meyer, former mayor and longtime chairman of Keep Cuero Beautiful, celebrated for her decades of leadership in beautification and civic engagement.
“These benches are more than places to sit,” said one Tree Board member. “They are symbols of the partnerships and vision that keep Cuero growing stronger, greener, and more connected.”
Texas Arbor Day, observed in November to align with the state’s planting season, has long been a moment for Cuero to highlight its dedication to conservation. Past initiatives have included school programs, community plantings, and educational outreach. This year’s new trees represent one of the largest coordinated efforts in recent memory, reinforcing Cuero’s role as a leader in small-town sustainability.
The ceremony underscored how civic leaders, businesses, and volunteers can work together to shape the city’s future. With the new trees thriving, the benches now provide a place for residents to pause, reflect, and enjoy the beauty of Cuero’s growing canopy.
The Tree Board plans to continue expanding green spaces and encouraging community involvement in conservation projects. With strong partnerships and local pride, Cuero’s Arbor Day celebrations are poised to remain a cornerstone of the city’s identity.
