Hug a tree, it’s Arbor Month! Arbor Day is commonly celebrated on the last Friday in April, but here in Oregon our trees get the entire month for recognition. Read the Governor’s Proclamation or learn more from the Oregon Department of Forestry.
It’s easy to find a favorite tree in the Central Oregon landscape. The Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests are at our doorstep, while Bend, Madras, Redmond, Sisters, and Sunriver are among Oregon’s numerous participants in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program celebrating efforts to maintain and grow urban tree cover. Wherever your favorite tree may be, we hope you can enjoy it today and everyday!
