Celebrate Arbor Day in Connecticut - April 30th!

In 1970, President Richard Nixon proclaimed the last Friday in April as National Arbor Day!  In 2004 Oak became America's National Tree! 

Arbor Day is celebrated throughout the U.S. on different days depending on the State.  This year Connecticut celebrates Arbor Day on April 30th --- The White Oak or Quercus alba is Connecticut's State Tree!

Planting trees native to our region is a good idea ---- they will be able to stand up to our "wacky" weather - you know ---- hurricanes in September followed by recorded snow storms in October!

Go out and plant a TREE!
