We are weeks away from national Arbor Day (April 24th). The tree planter’s holiday has brought people together to plant trees for more than 10 decades. The thought that thousands of people from all corners of the country are doing the same thing on the same day is exciting.
With all the problems our planet faces today, now is the time to plant trees. Trees are affordable and tackle so many challenges, like providing clean air and water, reducing carbon emissions and heat islands, reducing asthma, energy use, and so much more. Aside from their economic, environmental, and health benefits, trees look great! More people are starting to understand and appreciate the tangible value of trees and we couldn’t be happier.
The best way to celebrate Arbor Day is to plant a tree, even if it’s not on Arbor Day. To get involved in an Arbor Day event in your area, visit the celebrate arbor day website. There is a map highlighting hundreds of events across the country. And if you don’t see one in your area, add it.
