Fox News
Arbor Day on April 26 helps celebrate and emphasize the importance of planting trees. Fox News Digital spoke with the CEO of the Arbor Day Foundation in Lincoln, Nebraska, and others.
"The simple act of planting a tree represents a belief that the tree will grow to provide us with clean air and water, cooling shade, habitat for wildlife, healthier communities and natural beauty — all for a better tomorrow." "Trees clean our air and water, provide nourishment, increase our mental health, provide relief from a warming climate, sequester carbon" and more. "We have an unmatched network of local nonprofit tree-planting organizations that help us understand their local environment." Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
Arbor Day is widely known as the tree planter’s holiday, and Lambe said the day is marked for people to come together in recognition of the wonders of trees.
