Trees Make a World of Difference!
Trees shade and cool our homes, bring songbirds close by, mark the changing seasons.
Kids can climb them or build a tree house in their branches. For all of us, trees are a source of lumber, food, and countless products and they beautify our communities and countryside.
But equally important, trees conserve energy, reduce soil erosion, clean the air we breathe, and help protect rivers and streams. If trees are to provide all these benefits, we need to care for the trees we have, and to plant more.
Helping people plant and care for trees is a primary mission here at The Arbor Day Foundation. We want you to be successful with the trees you plant, so it's important to plant the right tree in the right place.
As you plant and care for your trees, you can be sure that you are making the future better for your family, your neighborhood, your countryside, your world.
