National Arbor Day in the United States is on Friday, April 24, 2026. It is a designated day to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees, typically observed on the last Friday in April. Many communities and states will host tree plantings, seedling giveaways, and environmental education events during this time.
Ways to Celebrate with your Sisters:
