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:
- · Trees
renew our air supply by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen
- · One tree
produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year
- · Trees
lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves. Shade trees can make buildings up to 20
degrees cooler in the summer.
- · A mature
oak tree can provide support for over 460 different species of insects, birds
and mammals in shelters and hollows, as well as fruit, flowers and foliage that
attract a huge variety of birds and insects.
- · Tree
roots stabilize soil and prevent erosion
- · The
amount of oxygen produced by an acre of trees per year equals the amount
consumed by 18 people annually
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:
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,
call the City of Crest Hill at: 815.741.5100.
A variety of trees
will be available at big savings, including:
Ornamental Pear, Magnolia, Redbud, various Maples, Crabapples, and
more. Prices and further info regarding
the trees are available at:
Trees can be
purchased by check or cash and removed from the Center by Noon. Naperville Public Works employees will be in
attendance to help residents load trees.
(No commercial sales are allowed).
An expert from the Morton Arboretum will
be in attendance at this event to assist residents with their questions and
offer planting advice. The City of
Naperville will be offering a copy of its informative tree booklet: The “Trees of Naperville - Tree
Selection and Planting Guide”, which can also be found and/or downloaded on the
City’s website.
Should you need
further info regarding this sale, please call 630.420.6095.
Arbor Day is being
celebrated in St. Charles this year on Friday, April 27th, at
Lincoln Park on Main Street, between 4th and 5th Streets. There will be live music, a tree raffle,
tree care demonstrations and more. Arbor Day festivities begin at 4 pm. The
artwork and photos of the participants and winners of the coloring and photography
contest will be on display.
In Illinois alone,
there are 186 Tree City USA
communities. Many are hosting their own
Arbor Day festivities. Think about
attending a celebration taking place near you … or go to The Arbor Day Foundation website and make a donation to help them
plant, nurture, and celebrate trees in your community and across the U.S.
