1999 Connecticut Quarter Ideal for National Arbor Day Nod
April 24, 2026
National Arbor Day is celebrated each year on the last Friday of April and shines a light on the importance of planting trees. The annual holiday has roots to its first observance in 1872 and inspired the creation of the Arbor Day Foundation, which was established in the United States in 1972. The nonprofit organization has facilitated the planting of more than 500 million trees and shines the light on the many extraordinary life- and community-changing benefits of planting trees. Among the benefits of planting trees are combating climate change, purifying the air, cooling urban cores, lowering home energy costs, increasing property values, improving public health, and enhancing water-management efforts.
