They are a gift to enjoy now and in the future. Since 1872, people\u00a0 have celebrated the importance of trees and their contributions through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arborday.org\/\">Arbor Day<\/a>. Just 35 years after that first Arbor Day, Bartlett Tree Experts was founded in 1907. For more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/bartlett-history\">100 years<\/a>, trees have been our legacy. Every day, we marvel at their beauty and work hard to preserve their health. On Arbor Day, especially, we look to help ensure our legacy by teaching people about the importance of trees.<\/p>\n<h3>Arbor Day Outreach<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s wonderful to be able to use our expert tree care skills to support our communities on Earth Day and Arbor Day. This year was no exception. Certified arborists assisted with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/services\/pruning\">tree pruning<\/a>\u00a0and removal of girdling roots and participated in a number of tree planting events. Volunteers participated in a day of service hosted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.massarbor.org\/\">Massachusetts Arborists Association<\/a>. We helped plant trees at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookfieldzoo.org\/\">Brookfield Zoo<\/a> in Illinois, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renfrewmuseum.org\/\">Renfrew Museum and Park<\/a> in Pennsylvania and on the Boston Common. We even helped open a new natural trail in Valhalla, NY<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7717 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div

href=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/bartlett-legacy-tree-program\">Bartlett Legacy Tree Program<\/a>. The Company has distributed over 775,000 trees since the program&#8217;s inception in 2014. The goal is to raise awareness of the benefits of planting trees, give back and improve the environment through a shared love of trees.<\/p>\n<p>As always, a highlight of these events is educating children and providing them trees to plant. Students everywhere from the East Coast in places including White Plains, NY and Monrovia, MD to the West in Spokane, WA (to name a few!) enjoyed learning about trees and were excited to take home a seedling.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-7717 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/trees-are-our-legacy\/attachment\/7\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/trees-are-our-legacy\/ar-phil-kline-presents-to-kindergarteners-at-green-valley-elementary-in-monrovia\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Phil-Kline-presents-to-kindergarteners-at-Green-Valley-Elementary-in-Monrovia-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Phil-Kline-presents-to-kindergarteners-at-Green-Valley-Elementary-in-Monrovia-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Phil-Kline-presents-to-kindergarteners-at-Green-Valley-Elementary-in-Monrovia-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Phil-Kline-presents-to-kindergarteners-at-Green-Valley-Elementary-in-Monrovia-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Phil-Kline-presents-to-kindergarteners-at-Green-Valley-Elementary-in-Monrovia-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Phil-Kline-presents-to-kindergarteners-at-Green-Valley-Elementary-in-Monrovia.jpg 1814w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/trees-are-our-legacy\/ar-kurt-mohr-first-and-second-graders-at-victoria-elementary\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Kurt-Mohr-first-and-second-graders-at-Victoria-Elementary-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Kurt-Mohr-first-and-second-graders-at-Victoria-Elementary-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Kurt-Mohr-first-and-second-graders-at-Victoria-Elementary-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Kurt-Mohr-first-and-second-graders-at-Victoria-Elementary-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Kurt-Mohr-first-and-second-graders-at-Victoria-Elementary-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AR-Kurt-Mohr-first-and-second-graders-at-Victoria-Elementary-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>We also worked with local organizations and participated in events to get more trees into the hands of people in the community.
