Summary: "The Arbor Day Foundation will celebrate its 150th anniversary in April 2022, and this book will be timed to coincide with that noteworthy milestone. Now more than ever, its mission to engage homeowners to actually get out and plant trees is critical to mitigate carbon in our atmosphere, and as their wildly successful Time for Trees campaign in late 2019 showed, CEOs and celebrities from around the world believe Arbor Day remains not only relevant but look to it for leadership, and have also given it financial support as never before. Part inspiration (by showing some of their most successful endeavors from the past-some of which have shaped the very character of our nation) and part call to action (by giving readers all of the information they need to plant the best trees for their own yards), this book will be at once a celebration of one of our country's most enduring charities and a manual for how to DIY add trees at home"-- Provided by publisher.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

"Celebrates the power of trees to oxygenate the planet, purify water and air, lower city temperatures, provide habitat, nurture the soul, and provide essential food sources." -- Booklist



Trees and forests are the number one nature-based solution for revers­ing the negative effects of a changing climate. If ever there was a time to be planting trees, that time is now.



Inspired by a collective sense of urgency, a global movement to plant trees is gaining momentum. To move the needle, we need to act on a massive scale and plant millions of trees today to have a measurable and lasting impact on billions of lives tomorrow. In Now Is the Time for Trees , the experts at the Arbor Day Foundation will inspire you to do your part by showing you everything you need to know to plant trees at home or in your community. From advice on choosing the right size and type of tree to tried-and-true tips for planting success, this book will help you plant a tree today and leave your own legacy of hope.



Equal parts inspiration and advocacy, Now Is the Time for Trees is a rousing call for environmental action and a must-have book for nature lovers everywhere.
