Arbor Day Programs
The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.
Established in 1972, the foundation promotes tree planting and conservation efforts to improve the environment and enhance communities. It offers several programs, including Tree City USA, Tree Line USA, and Tree Campus, which encourage municipalities, utilities, schools, and other organizations to engage in tree care, community forestry, and environmental stewardship. These programs aim to foster greener, healthier, and more sustainable communities.
