Key Points

  • The Senate officially recognized April 25, 2025, as National Arbor Day. This year marks the 153rd anniversary of the holiday, which was first started in 1872 to encourage people to plant and care for trees.
  • The resolution highlights how trees help the environment by soaking up carbon and providing materials for building homes and bridges. It also notes that well-managed forests are a key part of fighting climate change.
  • More than 3,500 towns and cities across the country are part of the "Tree City USA" program. This program helps nearly half of all Americans live in communities that focus on planting and taking care of local trees.
  • This is a ceremonial action, meaning it does not create new laws or spend any money. Instead, it encourages people across the United States to volunteer, plant trees, and learn about taking care of the land.
