Celebrating National Arbor Day

Every last Friday in April is the day when we’re all encouraged to plant and care for trees. April 27th is National Arbor Day. A perfect excuse to give a little extra TLC to the trees that provide vital protection for the Earth’s topsoil from erosion, oxygen, and also homes for wildlife.

Trees are a renewable resource that provides a variety of materials for building, fuel and office supplies. They beautify our environment, provide shade on a sunny day and improve our quality of life.

Some ways to celebrate all these things is by planting a tree. Giving a gift of a tree to a friend or family member or, learning more about trees and sharing with your community. You can also use the hashtag #NationalArborDay to post on Social Media.
