The Arbor Day Foundation recently updated its Conservation Trees booklet, and it is now available for a $3 donation by contacting the Foundation.
Conservation Trees is designed to help people plant and care for trees. The booklet uses illustrations, colorful photos and easy-to-follow text in this tree-care guide.
"The Arbor Day Foundation believes it's vital for people of all walks of life to plant new trees and to take care of our existing tree canopy," said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Foundations. "This booklet serves as a great resource for three planters in every area of the country.
"Trees help us conserve energy, are good for the soil, and clean the air we breathe and drinking water for millions of Americans. That's why it is so important to properly plant new trees and care for the ones we already have."
Included in the Conservation Trees booklet are tips on how to use shade trees and windbreaks to save on energy costs, attract songbirds, create a living snow fence, and to learn how to plant the right tree in the right place.
In addition, the booklet also details the right way to plant and prune trees.
To order the Conservation Trees booklet, send a $3 check, along with your name and address, to Conservation Trees, Arbor Day foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410, or order online at www.arborday.org/conservationtrees.
