arbor day

Friday, April 25 was National Arbor Day. Since 1872, Americans have celebrated trees and their beauty and benefits. And communities are encouraged to plant and nurture trees on this day.

Today is Arbor Day. Founded by J. Sterling Morton in 1872, National Arbor Day is celebrated to encourage tree planting and care. Here are five ideas for celebrating Arbor Day with your children: Plant a Tree and Give it a Name

This is the classic Arbor Day activity. Whether you plant a native tree or an ornamental in your yard, children love to plant trees and monitor the tree’s growth in comparison to their own. In our family, we name our trees, such as Maggie the Magnolia.

Today is Arbor Day in the U.S. and we are very excited as this is the day of the trees. Many businesses and organizations are celebrating Arbor Day with special initiatives and Eco-Libris blog brings you more details.

This Friday (April 25th) most states across the U.S will celebrate Arbor Day...a holiday designed to honor, commemorate, and (most importantly) plant trees. It's a great day to stop and smell the acorns and to plant a seed with your little treehugger. Check out this link for some kid-friendly Arbor Day ideas...
