Celebrate America's Beautiful Trees! Arbor Day Celebrations in Chicagoland Did you know that trees are not only beautiful, they’re hard
working too?? Here’s just a small list of the many tasks that trees
accomplish for us each and every day:
Not bad, huh? So is it any wonder
that each year we set aside a day to celebrate the beauty, hard work, and
enhancements to our lives that trees afford us?  Arbor Day in the U.S., is celebrated on the last Friday in
April each and every year. This year, many
cities and towns in Chicagoland are once again hosting Arbor Day festivities hoping to create renewed
love and awareness for trees … and also promote the planting of new trees
within their boundaries. Some of the towns
taking part in this year’s Arbor Day festivities are: Village of Lombard: The
Village will be celebrating on April 25th, in cooperation and partnership with
the Morton Arboretum and Glenbard
East High School. Activities will
include a “tree tagging” event. The Glenbard East HS Ecology Club will be
working along with professional arborists and foresters from the Morton Arboretum to
identify and gather data regarding the trees located in the parkways near the
school. Each tree’s tag will show the
monetary value of the tree entered into the National Tree Benefits Calculator. City of Crest
Hill:
Both residents and nonprofit organizations are invited to take
part in this year’s “50/50 Tree Program”,
sponsored through the City ... and held in conjunction with Arbor Day. Only one (1) tree
per household is allowed. Anyone
receiving a tree through last year’s “50/50 Tree Program”, will not be eligible
for participation this year. Funds are
limited for this Program. If interest is
high, early applicants will be given first consideration. The goal set by the City is for 5 trees to be
newly planted within each of its 4 wards. To download an
application for the City of Crest Hill’s “50/50 Tree Program”, go to:  All trees must be
planted by the landscaper working in partnership with the City of Crest Hill, “The
Fields on Caton Farm”. For further info,
