Happy Arbor Day! Will you be planting something this weekend to celebrate? Adding trees and shrubs to your landscape can help protect soil and water resources, sequester carbon, increase wildlife habitat, and provide edible fruits and nuts. In addition to the wildlife and environmental benefits, properly selected and placed trees and shrubs provide privacy, energy savings, protection from wind or snow, and increased property value.
When selecting trees and shrubs for your landscape, always plant a variety of species to help protect against invasive insect pests or disease pathogens infesting and damaging your plantings. Minnesota residents must consider planting shade trees other than ash, since emerald ash borer (EAB) was found in the state in 2009. Visit our emerald ash borer webpage to learn more about EAB and alternative shade trees.
