DES MOINES, Iowa - Tomorrow is Arbor Day, and every year, Iowans pay special attention to the benefits of trees and dedicate themselves to planting and managing the state's trees and forests.
Trees are one of Iowa’s most valuable natural resources because they clean the air and water, conserve soil and energy resources, provide critical wildlife habitat, and provide outdoor recreation.
According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa’s trees and forests are a sustainable-working natural resource that provide economic development opportunities for our 158,000 private woodland owners, 18,000 wood-based industries and over 800 tree care employees.
That's why the DNR is encouraging people to plant a tree tomorrow or attend an Arbor Day event.
