Default Happy Arbor Day!

Tree enthusiasts in New Hampshire are getting ready to celebrate Arbor Day on Friday, April 27. The holiday began in 1872 in Nebraska as a day to plant trees. Today, Arbor Day is celebrated all around the country as a day to celebrate trees, nature and community. New Hampshire celebrates Arbor Day on the last Friday in April. This year Arbor Day is April 27.

UNH Cooperative Extension Forest Resources Specialist Karen Bennett noted that New Hampshire is 84 percent forested, making it the second most forested state in the country. These acres of forests provide useful resources, employment, add to the value of property, and provide acres of habitat for wildlife.

Forests aren’t the only places where trees are important. Trees growing in small parks and commons, along streets, and in yards and gardens improve neighborhoods. For a community, these green spaces can be essential for public gathering, reducing noise and air pollution, recreation and much more.
