How PWC Can Help Arbor Day Initiative

Arbor Day is a special day when we pay homage to our planet. It is the day when we celebrate the hope and optimism for the future of our planet by planting and caring for trees. Arbor Day simply translates to “Tree Day.” On this day held in late April or early May of every year, residents and municipal use Arbor Day initiative to set aside time to celebrate trees and all the health benefits that they bestow on our local communities and planet.

There is a lot that your Public Works Dept. can do to make your Arbor Day Initiative a roaring success, and PWC can help you every step of the way. The green consultants at PWC can come up with unique tree ideas that will grab the attention of your community and encourage their broader participation in the celebrations.
