National Arbor Day

By -

Are you looking to do your part to make our Planet a little "greener"? Well, today is the day!


Arbor Day is a nationally-celebrated observance that encourages tree planting and care.
National Arbor Day was founded by J. Sterling Morton in 1872, is celebrated on the last Friday in April. His simple idea of setting aside a special day for tree planting is now more important than ever.


Have you ever heard someone say, "what difference can I make? I'm only one person."? Here are several ways that you can make a difference!


  • Celebrate Arbor Day in a personal way by planting a tree yourself. It is an act of optimism and kindness, a labor of love and a commitment to stewardship.

  • Read a book about trees. Learn to identify trees in your yard and neighborhood

  • Enjoy the outdoors. Visit a local park or take a nature hike.

  • Attend a class on tree and plant care.

  • Volunteer with a local tree-planting organization. You’ll meet new people and make a difference in your community.
