This week we are joined with the President of the Arbor Day Foundation Dan Lambe to discuss what exactly Arbor Day is and what the Arbor Day Foundation does. Listen to learn about the great programs this foundation does to promote tree planting across the globe! And don't forget to celebrate national Arbor Day this year on Friday, April 30, 2021.

We're celebrating Arbor Day all month long with the Davey Planting Project Giveaway! We want to promote tree planting this Arbor Day, so we're giving away tree seeds to anyone and everyone who is interested! All you have to do is email a mailing address to [email protected] and you'll receive your complimentary seeds in the mail along with planting instructions.  You have until April 30, 2021 to send us an email for your seeds. *Seeds can only be mailed within the U.S.
