Event Details
Did you know that Arbor Day's traditional observance is to plant a tree? On the first Arbor Day, April 10, 1872, a million trees were planted. As of 1972, Arbor Day became a national holiday which now is the oldest environmentalist holiday.
Be sure to register for your own Red Maple seedling to plant. Red maple features something red in each of the seasons—buds in winter, flowers in spring, leafstalks in summer, and brilliant foliage in autumn. This pageant of color, along with the red maple's relatively fast growth and tolerance to a wide range of soils, makes it a widely planted favorite.
