Planting Trees & Enjoying Nature

April 26th is Arbor Day. This very special day represents hope for the future. Everyone is encouraged to go out in nature and plant trees.

When Arbor Day was originally celebrated in the late 1800s, prizes were offered to counties and individuals for the largest number of properly planted trees on that day. It was estimated that more than 1 million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day.

Why Is Arbor Day Important?

According to the EPA, planting trees and vegetation can cool areas.

“Research shows that urban forests have temperatures that are on average 2.9 degrees lower than unforested urban areas,” it states.

Not only does planting trees in urban areas reduce the temperature, it also reduces energy use, improves air quality, and improves quality of life.

How To Celebrate Arbor Day Today

Volunteering for an organization to plant trees locally.
