"I was told about the tumor in my left lung by the St. Louis County nurse on duty upon my return."
From backyards to tropical rain forests, trees around the world are hard at work providing the necessities of life. Trees clean our air and water, provide habitat for wildlife, connect communities, and support our health and well-being.
Trees are needed now more than ever to slow climate change, improve wildlife habitat, strengthen our communities, and provide equitable access to green space. And the Arbor Day Foundation is ready to plant trees at the scale needed in this critical moment.
Climate change is the biggest challenge facing the health of our planet. And while it will take many solutions working together to make a difference, trees are the proven, affordable, natural way that can be implemented quickly to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere today. Every tree planted is a step in the right direction.
