Celebrate Arbor Day on Friday

Everyone is encouraged to celebrate Arbor Day on Friday, April 29.  The U.S. Forest Service says that if you are thinking about planting a tree, research the species native in your area before you plant.  Trees need different amounts of sun and water to grow and certain types do better in certain areas.  Space is also a major factor when choosing a tree as they require room for both limbs and roots.  Learn more about choosing the right tree to plant at www.fs.usda.gov.
