An act of God, or just bad management? Why trees fall and how to prevent it. "Such descriptions obscure the role of good management in minimising the chance a tree will fall. The fact is, much can be done to prevent these events." https://t.co/108sm4s33X

[Author Kelly Swan Taylor @KellySwanTaylor]

@MicheleMchmsm88 @rockcenternyc Every year I wonder why they never planted a tree in front of Rockefeller Center a long time ago. I hate that they cut down a massive tree for a only a few weeks (and yes, I do love Christmas).

[KLST @KellisLST]

Please, please, please DON'T "prune" a tree like this...🌳

[Kelly Swan Taylor @Citzn_Forester]

This is so frustrating! I've personally had to remove nails from trees, and even a street sign!!

[Speak for the Trees, Boston @Trees_Boston]

One week later, and tape still on. Can cause rot in bark. I was tempted to cut on own...

[KLST @KellisLST]

@arborday @rockcenternyc I understand and that's great, AFTER the cutting. But, as tree people, I'm sure you're aware of the importance of old growth trees. Better to use a sustainable tree farm or...PLANT one in the center.

[KLST @KellisLST]

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but why can't #RockefellerCenter pick a #tree from a sustainable farm, & NOT a champion tree from someone's yard? With all this talk about the environment, where is the #TreeLove? @rockcenternyc @arborday

[Trees for Cities @TreesforCities]

“Even though urban areas are small compared to rural areas, the value of trees is more important because these trees are in more proximity to people.” New research shows that American cities are losing millions of trees each year 😢 https://t.co/aTz7ouaswo

[9/11 Memorial & Museum @Sept11Memorial]

The charred trunk of this Callery pear tree was rescued from the smoldering rubble of the World Trade Center site after the 2001 attacks and nursed back to life. Today, it lives on the #911Memorial as a living reminder of resilience, survival and rebirth. #SurvivorTree #ArborDay

Tomorrow afternoon, we will be planting 26 new street and park #trees in my #AcademyPark neighborhood, in #Providence. So excited for my 4th #TreePlanting! #StreetTree

[The Nature Conservancy @nature_org]

Please share this message this #ArborDay. A tree planted is a gift to us all.

[Indy Parks🌲 @IndyParksandRec]

The oldest tree lives in the western USA! At more than 5,000 years old, this Bristlecone Pine is the oldest individual standing tree in the world! #AgeIsOnlyANumber #YoungAtHeart #ArborDay #30YearsOfIndyTrees #TreeCityUSA

[Sierra Club @SierraClub]

Happy #ArborDay!

[KLST @KellisLST]

I'm very appreciative of their efforts to save this #tree and am pleased that most of it will remain standing. #Whitehouse #Magnolia @FLOTUS @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/bza3qWYAtj

[Arbor Day Foundation @arborday]

For winter when the days grow short and spirits may run low
I'd plant a pine upon the scape
T'would lend a cheery glow.

It's 4:11 and almost dark outside. We really need to end this #DaylightSavings nonsense. A #NewTimeZone would help too. #IMissSunshine 🌞🌞🌞

[Kelly Swan Taylor @Citzn_Forester]

Aftermath of this week's incredible wind storm. This is the park on our street. Thankfully, only one #tree was severely damaged. #Providence

[Kelly Swan Taylor @Citzn_Forester]

Staking also weakens the root system of a #tree. Trees grow stronger simply by having to hold themselves up in the conditions! #TreeCare https://t.co/z4cBTxFDGP

#1Reason NOT to stake trees! Improper all around! Learn by visiting @TXForestService @ISArboriculture @arborday

[Kelly Swan Taylor @Citzn_Forester]

Even if you are advertising the best yard sale ever, DO NOT...I repeat...DO! NOT! PUT NAILS IN #STREETTREES! #Trees are living things! 🌳
