Plant a Tree for Arbor Day – Grow a Greener Tomorrow
Arbor Day is April 25—and there’s no better time to plant a tree and give back to the planet. Every tree you plant supports a cleaner, healthier community by improving air quality, providing wildlife habitat and helping cool your home.
Here in Columbus, we’re working toward a bold goal: 40 percent tree canopy cover by 2050. When you plant a tree, you’re helping us get one step closer to that future!
A few tips: Before you dig, call 811 or 800-362-2764 to check for underground utilities. And make sure you plant the tree the right way; here are some quick tips [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery&v=jkAv1J0XnkQ ].
Let’s make Arbor Day a celebration of growth—one tree at a time.
