Plant trees in your town. Trees help clear our air, clean our water, and save our energy

Into each life, a little rain must fall, and what rains on our cities, flows into what we drink. The Arbor Day Foundation invites you to plant trees in your community, so the water that flows into our rivers and streams will be clean and safe.

The trees in your town also provide shade, and song, and beauty, clean air, lower energy costs, and higher property values. They are a source of life — and a source of pride. Because when a town shows a commitment to planting and caring for trees, it can become a Tree City USA. Tree City USAs have one thing in common — they value trees and all that they do for us.
