“Ohio leads the nation in the number of certified Tree City USA communities. The governor of Ohio proclaims Arbor Day each year with an official resolution.”
– Celebrating Arbor Day in Ohio
Hey, with Cleveland also leading the national per capita poverty rate, this is a sign of light that this ain’t such a bad place to live after all. (Said in jest. I’ve bought a home here and actually give Cleveland a decent amount of respect for contributing to positive change, across the board, in my life.)
Arbor Day in Ohio is the last Friday in April. This year we will be celebrating by planting a tree and/ or participating in other related festivities. When we moved in to this house last year, we planted a small pear tree in the front lawn to signify our new life here. I just hope the cute little guy survived the winter! Maybe we’ll plant him a little brother or sister nearby to keep him company next year.
(Thanks Tony for the idea for this post!)
I’m sure the little guy made it through the hardest part of the year, we need to find him a new friend for this year. Any ideas on what to plant?
