Bartlett-ArborDay-TreeHero-4-21-2015

This week #treechat is a celebration of tree planting with Bartlett Tree Experts. DYK? Arbor Day dates from 1854. J. Sterling Morton proposed a holiday to plant trees on April 10 of that year to be known as 'Arbor Day' to encourage planting trees needed as windbreaks to stabilize the soil and give shade from the sun. In 1855, Arbor day became a legal U.S. holiday and was moved to the last Friday in April. Each of the states now have their own official Arbor Day that is location-specific to the time of year best suited for planting trees. 

Join Bartlett Tree Experts and Corona Tools for a celebration of Arbor Day and share your own tree planting stories on #treechat on Twitter.

Be a Tree Hero

Prior to the live event, participants submitted a story or picture of a tree they've planted to win a free redbud seedling. During the live event, Bartlett Tree Experts recognized some of the tree heroes out there too and also shared #treehero stories live.
