Georgia Arbor Day — Spring is around the corner! It is that time of year we celebrate the beauty, functionality, and value trees have on our daily lives.

National Arbor Day is the last Friday of April. This year it is on April 29.

Each state has it’s own Arbor Day based on the best time to plant trees!

Florida’s Arbor Day is the third Friday in January. Georgia’s is the third Friday in February.

Notice the higher the latitude, the later in Spring we go!
