Arbor Day


Arbor Day in Illinois and Wisconsin is the last Friday in April- the 27th this year.

To Celebrate Arbor Day in Chicago, the National Arbor Day Foundation and The Home Depot Foundation, along with local Illinois nonprofit tree-planting organizations plan to plant 100 Trees in the Chicago Area. Kids will take part in the tree-planting and educational activities.

  • “The Home Depot Foundation and the National Arbor Day Foundation are partnering together to plant 1,000 trees in 10 cities across the country. These tree-planting events are part of a nationwide 10-city campaign led by The Home Depot Foundation and the National Arbor Day Foundation to increase awareness of the importance of city trees as green infrastructure in our cities and to create healthier communities in urban areas.”
