“Celebrates the power of trees to oxygenate the planet, purify water and air, lower city temperatures, provide habitat, nurture the soul, and provide essential food sources.” —Booklist
Trees and forests are the number one nature-based solution for revers­ing the negative effects of a changing climate. If ever there was a time to be planting trees, that time is now.
 
Inspired by a collective sense of urgency, a global movement to plant trees is gaining momentum. To move the needle, we need to act on a massive scale and plant millions of trees today to have a measurable and lasting impact on billions of lives tomorrow. In Now Is the Time for Trees, the experts at the Arbor Day Foundation will inspire you to do your part by showing you everything you need to know to plant trees at home or in your community. From advice on choosing the right size and type of tree to tried-and-true tips for planting success, this book will help you plant a tree today and leave your own legacy of hope.
 
Equal parts inspiration and advocacy, Now Is the Time for Trees is a rousing call for environmental action and a must-have book for nature lovers everywhere.

      Author Dan Lambe, president since 2014 of the 50-year-old Arbor Day Foundation, and Seattle Times garden columnist Lorene Edwards Forkner celebrate the power of trees to oxygenate the planet, purify water and air, lower city temperatures, provide habitat, nurture the soul, and provide essential food sources. The book also celebrates the work of the foundation itself, which has distributed hundreds of millions of seedlings through a diversity of programs, such as the Community Tree Recovery Program, which has helped states ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, and the Rain Forest Rescue Program, which encourages sustainable rain-forest harvesting practices, along with replanting damaged forest. The book offers ample information on the basics of procuring and planting a tree--from selection to soil and space requirements, siting, and digging--but, strangely, it understates the critical importance of planting native trees for, among other things, their resilience to disease, pest damage, and weather-related threats, and for their greater ability (than non-natives) to provide habitat for local flora and fauna. Recommended especially for garden collections with a strong native-plant counterbalance.
