NJ Tree Foundation Celebrates Arbor Day 2016

Beth Kwart Benefits of Trees, Fundraising, Good Landscaping, NJTF in the News, Tree Care, Volunteers April 29, 2016

April 29, 2016 – New Jersey – 10325366_10152488848273273_4809332432604534827_n On Friday, April 29th, the NJ Tree Foundation and tree lovers across New Jersey and the country are celebrating Arbor Day! Arbor Day celebrates trees by encouraging tree planting and tree care. What are you doing to celebrate Arbor Day? Our recommendations are:

1) Plant a tree. Make sure you follow the right tree, right place, right way mantra!

2) Care for a tree. Pull weeds surrounding the tree and lay fresh mulch around the tree, leaving a 2 inch gap around the base of the tree.

3) Donate to Newark 350 Gives! The NJ Tree Foundation will plant 350 trees with funding from Newark 35o Gives. If you can’t plant a tree yourself this Arbor Day, donate to help one be planted in the future. Learn more about Newark 350 Gives by visiting their website.

The NJ Tree Foundation will join the New Jersey Forest Service and others to celebrate Arbor Day at Veterans Memorial Park in Parsippany, NJ. A ceremony will be held to commemorate the 67th New Jersey State Arbor Day Celebration.
