They've napped, swung, played their games, Into my bark they carved their names. Oh how proud I've stood At ninety feet tall, They call me a giant Cottonwood. Third place - Beth Barnes of Hyde County Conservation District Arbor Day Arbor Day is a day that many people celebrate. People plant trees for Arbor Day every year. Planting trees help protect wildlife like pheasants, rabbits, and many other animals, like livestock.
Trees also help by stopping dirt and snow from blowing around during the seasons.
Every year my family and I plant anywhere from 100 to 10,000 trees, its depends on the year. We plant many types of trees like cedars, junipers, plums, cotoneaster, Russian olives, and Black Hills spruce. We plant trees to help stop snow from blocking our roads, for protection for animals, and to add beauty as well. We usually start planting the trees around the middle of April. The sooner the better so that there is plenty of moisture in the ground.
