On Earth Day, people will focus on accelerating the transition to a prosperous green economy. This year, we will celebrate Earth Day by taking action to protect our planet. The Arbor Day Foundation has joined forces with the Earth Day Network to create the Grow Green Program. The Grow Green Program is a grassroots movement that encourages people to plant trees and create green spaces in their communities. It's easy to get involved.
1. Find a location in your community where you can plant a tree.
2. Choose a tree that is native to your area.
3. Contact your local public works department or parks and recreation department to see if they have trees available for planting.
4. Join the movement by planting a tree and becoming a part of the global movement to grow green.

This spot should be easily accessible and have enough space for a tree to grow. We are looking for a location in your community where you can plant a tree. The spot should be easily accessible and have enough space for a tree to grow.
It can be your own backyard, a community garden, or a park. Purchase a tree and bring it home. Carefully dig a hole, at least 3 feet deep and 2 feet wide. Fill the hole with soil and tamp it down. Spread a 2-inch layer of mulch around the tree. Water the tree and the mulch until the ground is saturated. After planting a tree, you should keep the tree well watered and mulched to protect it from drying out. You should also keep the area around the tree free of clutter and free of weeds to avoid disturbing the roots.
