90% of Americans believe we should be planting MORE trees. What a better time to take action than #ArborDay!?

Always a pleasure visiting the @weatherchannel!

[Texas A&M Forest Service @TXForestService]

Trees cool our air through shade and evapotranspiration - process of water being transformed into vapor and cooling the air. 💧

We're #ThankfulForTrees and the cool air they provide us with! What are you thankful for?

Paper bags are a responsible option. Made from recycled and sustainably sourced materials, paper bags are the only bag that’s recyclable in your curbside bin.

Osage-orange trees are medium-sized trees with many crooked, interweaving, thorny branches that form a dense, spreading crown. Native to East and Central Texas, the species stores over 2.4 million tons of carbon in our Texas forests! #SpeciesSpotlight
