Arbor Day, celebrated the last Friday in April, is a holiday dedicated to all the great things trees do for us. It's especially important for Michigan. Did you know Arbor Day, first held in 1872, was championed by Michigan native J. Sterling Morton? He envisioned it as a way to spread awareness about the importance of trees and encourage tree planting. We can keep that vision thriving by finding ways to celebrate Arbor Day locally as we observe social distancing guidelines.

Before you grab a shovel, make sure to pick the perfect spot for a tree to grow. Creating a sun map to track sun exposure in your growing space can help. You can make a sun map for a backyard, a garden plot or even a porch or balcony. To create a sun map, make a diagram of your yard and divide it into quadrants. It may help to visually mark the lines in your yard with string, a garden hose or chalk. Each hour after sunrise, make a tally mark on each area of your diagram that receives full sun. At the end of the day, add up the marks to determine the hours of sun exposure each area gets. Once you know your sun situation, it's easy to pick the appropriate trees and plants for your growing space. Plants and trees labeled "full sun" need six or more hours of sunlight per day. "Part-sun" or "part-shade" labels indicate that the plant needs three to six hours of sunlight, and those labeled "shade" require three hours or less of sunlight each day. In addition to sun exposure, moisture, wind and soil conditions also will affect the success of trees and plants. ________________________________ Help monarchs, bees and other pollinators [monarch butterfly on green leaf]Monarch butterflies, bees and other insects - despite their small size - play a very large role in humans' lives as they travel to flowering plants, drinking nectar and transporting pollen. Pollinators like butterflies and bees are responsible for approximately one-third of the world's food source. Due to a loss of habitat, the eastern monarch butterfly population has declined by 90% over the last 20 years, and bees have declined 50% in recent decades. These alarming drops have sparked conservation programs across the nation to take action, and thanks to efforts to protect pollinators and restore habitat, monarch populations have increased steadily over the last few years. There are a variety of ways you can help monarchs and other important pollinators in Michigan, including becoming aware of and participating in ongoing conservation efforts. Some ideas for how you can get involved: * Make your garden a great place for pollinators.

Additionally, Spectrum Healthcare's Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids is one of the first institutions in the country to achieve Tree Campus Healthcare status. "Tree City USA helps communities set goals, raise awareness and reinforce the importance of trees," said DNR Urban Forestry coordinator Kevin Sayers. To be recognized as a Tree City, a community must meet four standards: maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day.
