Gardening Etcetera: Arbor Day is April 25 -- why we should celebrate

As a member of Arbor Day Foundation, I learned in their October 2022 newsletter that over the 150-year history of Arbor Day and the 50-year history of the Foundation, they have planted and distributed nearly 500 million trees. What’s more, the Foundation chief executive, Dan Lambe, declared a new, ambitious goal of planting 500 million more trees by 2027!

He states, “This 500-million-tree goal is our way of stepping up, saying we’re ready to be part of the positive change that must happen in the coming years. …We need to focus our efforts on neighborhoods and forests where trees are needed most. With our science-based approach, our history of effective tree planting, and our network of planting partners around the world, we have a solid goal at the scale and pace needed to make it happen.�
