How to Celebrate Arbor Day
It
has been over 130 years since J. Sterling Morton founded Arbor
Day. His simple idea of setting aside a special day for tree
planting is now more important than ever... so read on to
discover ways to lend a special festive flavor to your next
Arbor Day celebration. You can also proclaim Arbor Day in
your city.
Good Ideas for a Great Arbor Day Celebration:
Raise the flag, strike up the band, make Arbor
Day fun. Make it memorable. Organize a fun run. Make it a
real event. See if a local business will donate prizes. Have
a poster contest, or a poetry contest. Get the local PTA to
sponsor a children's pageant or play. Check out the Arbor
Day Play, where the statue of J. Sterling Morton comes to
life to tell the children how he "authored" this
special holiday. Organize and train volunteers to help you
carry out Arbor Day ceremonies in your schools.
Get people excited. Show them things they've
never seen before. Tell them things about trees they've never
heard.
Fill the air with music. Have an Arbor Day
concert of songs about trees, or with tree names in their
titles.
Get people into action. Ask a civic or service
group to promote a paper drive to gather paper to be recycled
and save a tree. Use the proceeds to buy a special tree to
plant in a park or other special public place. Ask a local
radio station to sponsor a tree trivia contest and give away
trees to winners. Conduct a tree search. Ask people to find
large, unusual or historic trees in your community. Tell people
to take a hike--a tree identification hike--and have girl
scouts or boy scouts act as guides.
Dedicate a forest, or a tree, or a flower
bed in a park, and make it an occasion to talk about stewardship.
Get a local nursery or garden center to hold an open house
or field day. Organize an Arbor Day Fair.
Get people together. Encourage neighborhood
organizations to hold block parties and get their members
to adopt and care for street trees in front of their homes.
Pass out buttons. Give away trees.
Celebrate Arbor Day in a personal way by planting
a tree yourself. It is an act of optimism and kindness, a
labor of love and a commitment to stewardship.
Anyone can do it. Start a tree seed in a cup,
or a seedling in a pot. If you have no place to set it out
later, give it to someone who does, and then watch it grow
together. Find a place to plant a seedling or a sapling or
the largest tree you can handle alone.
