Arbor Day is a holiday that is literally dedicated to trees. Particularly, the planting, care and conservation of them. Trees not only bring an aesthetic beauty to our world but are important to our very survival. They not only provide shelter for many species of birds, animals and insects but they are also the lungs of our planet. Not to mention the fact, that products derived from them – such as paper – are vital to modern society. Therefore, this is an important holiday to bring attention to the importance of trees to our way of life.
