A resolution celebrating the 154th anniversary of Arbor Day.

Sponsored By: Senator Risch, James E. [R-ID]

Passed Senate

Summary

This resolution honors Arbor Day and the value of trees and working forests as a nature-based climate solution. It notes Arbor Day began April 10, 1872 and is observed on the last Friday of April, with April 24, 2026 marking the 154th anniversary. The text highlights that working forests are sustainably managed, with less than 2 percent harvested each year, and that active forest management boosts carbon storage and resilience. It notes more than 3,500 Tree City USA communities and says those communities include over 47 percent of the U.S. population. It recognizes April 24, 2026 as Arbor Day and encourages Americans to take part in planting and stewardship activities.
