CELEBRATE ARBOR DAY BY LEARNING MORE ABOUT OAK WILT

Today is National Arbor Day, traditionally observed the last Friday of April. While many towns and organizations celebrate by planting trees (and bravo) it's also a good time to remember to respect and take care of the trees we have. Oak Wilt is a destructive tree disease that has run rampant through Texas ultimately due to human carelessness. Help spread public awareness of how we can all work together to prevent the spread. Avoid pruning between February and June (at a minimum), paint all wounds no matter what time of year, and learn more about oak wilt at texasoakwilt.org.
