It’s Arbor Day — a time to plant, nurture and celebrate trees!
Trees play an important role in moderating our climate, improving our air quality, controlling floodwaters and providing homes and food for our unique wildlife. To celebrate Arbor Day you could…
– plant a native tree in your backyard
– volunteer for a conservation project
– head outdoors and enjoy New Zealand’s wild places
– share this post with your friends and family
