Don’t forget to water your trees! Extreme heat can be tough on trees - especially newly planted trees. With forecasts calling for continued high heat, make sure you keep your trees hydrated! Water your trees with 10-15 gallons for each week that has less than 1 inch of rain.

Spent the morning planting 7 oaks, in memory of Jim Vietti, with some of his friends & family. Jim was an arborist and woodcarver in Eureka, IL. His family said he spent a lot of time at Eureka Lake Park & would’ve loved seeing oak trees planted in this area. @Trees_Forever

1 planet. 1 day. 1 retweet. That’s all it takes to put trees in the ground. When you retweet THIS tweet, you are helping @Snoopy and the Arbor Day Foundation’s goal of planting 100,000 trees. You don’t need a shovel to plant trees today. #ArborDay
