Arbor Day is always the last Friday in April. This year it will be celebrated on April 25. Arbor Day is an excellent opportunity to inspect and help envigorate the trees on your property, or any woodlot or park in your community. Work with those involved in maintainence and make suggestions or help with repair, treatment, or even planting of new trees
Think about how planting new trees might improve the appearance of a property, or provide conservation. Find out from shade tree comissions, soil and water conservation districts, cooperative extension offices, or local and county environmental commisions about the availability of trees and programs on tree planting and education for Arbor Day. There may be events to encourage the planting of trees at schools, parks, or government facilities.
All our communties and properties benefit from tree planting and the care of healthy trees. Get involved and plant a tree for Arbor Day.
