First off, lets makes sure we know the difference between the Arbor Day and Earth Day.\u00a0Arbor Day\u2019s purpose is to plant more trees in the community, while Earth Day\u2019s purpose is to pay attention to the condition the environment is in and what we can do to help it. Arbor Day actually came way before Earth Day, but it eventually lost popularity as Earth Day become more and more popular.<\/p>\n

WSU feels strongly about celebrating both of these days that improve the environment. WSU is celebrating the\u00a0fifth\u00a0annual Arbor Day Celebration, which started with a\u00a0kick off on April 19 featuring a free tree give-away and a campus presentation by horticulturist and author, Heather Holm.\u00a0The theme for WSU\u2019s 2017 Arbor Day Celebration is \u201cTrees Supporting Bees (and their friends)!\u201d<\/p>\n

Next, WSU will partner with the City of Winona and participate in the 2017 combined Earth Day\/Arbor Day Celebration<\/a> from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 22, at the East End Recreation Center.\u00a0The event will feature a speaker and author talk, free tree giveaways, poetry, a book signing, tree plantings, food and craft vendors, advice on gardening and tree selection, demonstrations and activities for children and adults.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each year WSU partners with local school to celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day. This year’s partnership between WSU’s Landscape Arboretum <\/a>and students\u00a0will take place from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Friday, April 28. Children will be taught how to plant trees properly, the science behind trees and why they\u00a0matter. An important point\u00a0for this year\u2019s celebration is informing people why selecting trees that support pollinators will benefit the environment.<\/p>\n

There are many ways you can help\u00a0the environment, Warriors, if you explore the options! A great first step is to try out and attend the\u00a0outdoor education<\/a> opportunities offered at WSU this year.<\/p>\n
