Arbor Day of Giving

Arbor Day is a national holiday created to recognize the importance of trees. While communities around the globe gather every year to celebrate trees and the important role that they play in our environment, Holden Forests & Gardens has made Arbor Day our Day of Giving to encourage people to donate and support the mission and programs we provide on behalf of trees in Northeast Ohio and beyond.

APRIL 29

This year’s goal is set at $65,000.

Ways to Support HF&G Arbor Day of Giving

• Visit www.holdenfg.org - give a gift on Arbor Day of Giving, April 29, 2022. • Support our Arbor Day of Giving by creating your own fundraising page. Your individual fundraising page will allow you to share what HF&G means to you and set a goal. • Open our emails and share social media posts throughout the day.

In 2021, Day of Giving donations helped to:

• Plant trees at the Holden Arboretum and in communities around Northeast Ohio.

• Fund research at the Long Science Center that aims to create disease resistant trees that can be planted throughout the Great Lakes region. • Train future generations of arborists through our Tree Corps program.

Benefit of trees and tree canopies:

• Remove pollution from the atmosphere and improve air quality by providing oxygenrich air.

• Help reduce the effects of climate change. • Improve water quality. • Offer health benefits and relieve stress

Holden Forests & Gardens has nearly a century of expertise in plants and trees in Northeast Ohio and beyond. This accomplishment is made possible through the support of our members and donors, which is why we embrace and celebrate Arbor Day as our Day of Giving. We encourage YOU to celebrate trees and the environment and GIVE BACK to our efforts to support urban greening and forestry initiatives, mission-oriented research, conservation and horticultural work, educational programming, and world-class visitor experiences. We will celebrate YOU by offering free admission to both campuses and will be distributing free tree seedlings to visitors, along with information about their proper planting and care.

Thank you for your continuing support to protect the trees and plants of Northeast Ohio!
