Tree Time

On this Arbor Day, 2026, we encourage people everywhere to plant trees, care for forests, and support conservation movements. We must always remember the vital role trees play in our lives by cleaning the air, converting carbon dioxide to oxygen, storing carbon, and the many, many more important ways trees help us.

Following are some ways that people spend Arbor Day. Maybe you’ll be taking part in some of these activities, or maybe you’ve got ideas of your own.

• Social Activities such as participating in a planting project, joining a discussion on the value of trees, or attending an Arbor Day celebration.
• Individual Actions including planting a tree, caring for trees, or removing litter from a forest.
• Get Outdoors and take an educational tree walk, a tree ID hike, or big tree search.
• Financial Support like giving to an arbor day group, a nature conservation charity, or a tree planting organization.

Remember that a tree is a gift to be appreciated and cared for!
