Arbor Day is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees. Today, many countries observe this holiday. Though usually observed in the spring, the date varies, depending on climate and suitable planting season.
The first Arbor Day was created in the late 1800s and is now facilitated by The Arbor Day Foundation which promotes the planting, nurturing, and the celebrating of trees. Every state celebrates Arbor Day at different time and New York celebrates Arbor Day on the last Friday of April, which turns out to be National Arbor Day as well this year.
So, how do you celebrate arbor day? Donations to the Arbor Day Foundations are encouraged so they can plant trees, but you can plant trees yourself. Additionally, you can help plan a forest or park clean up to help ensure the trees can continue to grow.
Trees are very important to your ecosystem as they not only provide beauty and wood, but also what we need to live, food and air.
So celebrate trees and nature this Friday and this weekend with a visit to a botanical garden, arboretum, or nature preserve.
