Happy Arbor Day! 🌳 Trees provide us so many services that even the act of planting a tree can benefit you. Find a sense of community, purpose, and pride by volunteering with your state forestry agency or a tree-planting organization today!
Much of the U.S. is facing a brutal heatwave this week. 🥵 Trees are one of the most powerful cooling agents we can use! Not only do they provide shade, but they also cool the air by releasing water vapor. Trees and urban forests are vital to our communities. 🌳
Continued federal investment in State, Private & Tribal Forestry ensures that states can carry out essential forestry programs, support private landowners and deliver the national outcomes all Americans depend on.
Leave 👏 the 👏 leaves 👏
It’s that time of year when you’re itching to grab your rake and start making piles. But there’s good evidence to leave the leaves. Not only do they release nutrients into the grass as they break down, but they’re also a wildlife habitat and buffet.
Urban forests are powerful! 💪🌳 That's why state foresters across the U.S. are leveraging the new @sfiprogram Urban and Community Forest Sustainability Standard to enhance urban forestry efforts.

Think cities can't breathe?
Urban forestry is our unsung hero, turning grey to green, slashing stress, cleaning air and water AND fighting off urban heat like an eco-shield.
Let's champion our leafy warriors and transform our concrete jungles
@UNHABITAT
We commend the Senate and House Agriculture committees for their work on the new #FarmBill this week.
Based on the updates, we see a chance to pass a bipartisan Farm Bill soon that will provide necessary support for forestry and help tackle climate and natural resource issues.
Happy #ilovecsuday 💚💛 ! It's our favorite day, second only to #ArborDay, which is tomorrow. What a Tree-mendous week!
One thing we love about @ColoradoStateU...the
10,000 trees on main campus!
