It’s Arbor Week in California
Most states have Arbor Day (a day set aside for planting trees), but since California has the California Redwood as its state tree and is home to the world’s tallest and world’s largest tree, we need a whole week for this celebration of trees which is March 7-14, 2009. Since Sacramento is also known as “the city of trees” this especially important to us. The city of Sacramento even has an Urban Forestry page on their website, click on the link for all sorts of tree planting info.
The best deal in town for adding shade to cool down that summer heat is from SMUD who has partnered with Sacramento Tree Foundation to give free shade trees to Sacramento residents. I told you about free trees from SMUD last year and it’s still happening. Check out the SMUD website for all the info to get your free tree.
