A time when plants and trees sprout new leaves, flowers appear, birds migrate, and many animals emerge from hibernation. An important day is coming up Arbor Day. This day has been set aside for the planting and caring of trees. This day was set aside to encourage Nebraskans to plant trees to beautify and enrich the treeless state. Forests are the world's second largest carbon reservoirs after oceans .

How to Plant a Tree 1. Dig a hole large enough for all the roots to fit below ground level. Put a shallow layer of topsoil in the hole. Set the tree so that the roots are all in the hole, but not too deep. Cover the roots with topsoil, peat moss, or subsoil mixed with humus.
