Go Green ~ Arbor Day in Pullman Washington

By Lori Cofer, REALTOR ~ "Your Pullman Real Estate Connection"

National Arbor Day is Friday, April 10th.  Pullman Washington  will celebrate with the rest of the country by encouraging all Pullman residents to plant a tree.  From 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM you can come to the Pine Street Plaza downtown Pullman for a free seedling. 

Arbor Day has its roots in Nebraska where J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be set aside to plant trees.  The first Arbor Day in Nebraska in 1872 was celebrated with over a million trees planted in Nebraska!                                                            Photo Courtesy of Rod Schwartz

Trees are wonderful for our environment and enrich our daily lives as they clean the air we breathe, conserve soil and water, and moderate our temperatures.  They are also wonders to behold! The welcoming buds of Spring on a deciduous tree are quickly followed by the beauty of a blanket of green leaves only to put on a glorious show of color in the fall.  And evergreens proudly display their foliage all year long. 

They are also wonderful opportunities to grow memories too.  I remember planting three trees when I was very young one day with my mother and my father.  They have now passed off the scene, but when I drive by our old home and see those three trees growing so proudly, it brings back a wonderful memory in my life that brings a smile to my face :)
