Most of us tend to go about our everyday activities without giving the trees surrounding us much thought. National Arbor Day is a holiday that reminds us all of the importance and value every single tree has. Arbor Day is recognized and observed around the world by all different cultures. In the United States, it is celebrated on the last Friday in April. On this day, it is encouraged to get outside and plant a tree. Planting just one tree has many different benefits for the environment. Some of these benefits include purifying the air, supporting wildlife and providing shade to protect us from the damaging effects of the sun on our skin.



It’s time to act today! The Davey Tree Expert Company is committed to making a difference and providing solutions for a growing world. Along with The Shade Foundation, Davey Tree is looking for us all to apply nature’s sunscreen this Arbor Day. The healthy trees around us actually act as a natural sun protectant. Trees are equally important as applying sunscreen, wearing sunglasses and putting on hats. They act as our defense against the harsh rays of the sun. That’s why it is important to join in and take the pledge. It’s easy, and reminds us that we are held accountable for our health and nurturing the environment around us!
