American
Arbor
Day
With
a
little
love
and
support,
this
little
sprout
at
Prairie
Creek
Redwood
State
Park
in
California
has
a
big
future
ahead
of
it.
It
has
the
potential
to
one
day
be
the
tallest
tree
on
the
planet,
or
at
least
close
to
it.
Its
โbig
brother,โ
Hyperion,
currently
holds
the
record
at
380
feet.
Theyโre
giant
sequoias,
aka
giant
redwood
trees.
They
often
grow
upwards
of
300
feet
tall
and
can
live
for
thousands
of
years.
Theyโre
heroes
of
nature,
affecting
the
weather
and
climate,
while
housing
and
protecting
other
plants
and
animals.
But
all
of
this
little
sproutโs
potential
is
at
risk
because
the
giant
sequoia
is
an
endangered
species.
Fewer
than
80,000
of
them
remain.
Thatโs
why
today
is
an
important
day
for
it
and
all
trees.
Thatโs
right,
today
is
Arbor
Day,
the
day
where
we
stop
a
moment
to
think
about
the
trees
(and
hopefully
even
plant
a
few).
The
first
American
Arbor
Day
occurred
150
years
ago,
when
an
estimated
one
million
trees
were
planted
in
Nebraska
in
1872.
This
year,
Americaโs
Arbor
Day
Foundation
is
celebrating
its
50th
year
of
dedication
to
tree
planting.
Theyโve
planted
over
350
million
of
them
over
the
years,
but
the
mission
never
ends.
Trees
are
vital
to
the
health
of
our
planet,
which
means
they're
important
for
our
own
health
as
well.
Why
not
do
a
little
to
make
the
future
a
better
place
and
take
a
moment
to
nurture
or
plant
a
new
tree
today?
