ARBOR DAY 2008 INFORMATION Home Miracle at Work Healthy Forests Cool Stuff for Teachers Cool Stuff for Kids Search/Directory   Celebrate Arbor Day 2008 [Arbor Day is the last Friday in April each year!] "Every Year, Millions Of Trees Are Planted To Renew Idaho's Forests."Arbor Day is Friday, April 25, 2008 We see a Future in Trees by Betty J. Munis, Director, Idaho Forest Products Commission The last Friday in April marks Arbor Day. A special holiday set aside to appreciate trees and all the great things they provide. Trees and forests are a big part of what makes Idaho a special place. They provide fish and wildlife habitat, clean water and special places for us to enjoy. Trees are also one of Idaho 's greatest assets. The 16.8 million acres of timberland in Idaho contain billions of dollars in natural resources that continue to grow every year. Harvesting trees in Idaho is good for Idaho . Timber harvest provides jobs to around 15,000 Idahoans and produces nearly $2 billion worth of high quality products each year that are sold throughout the world. These are dollars that return to Idaho businesses which in turn pay taxes, support communities and provide local employment opportunities. And trees harvested on state forest lands contributed more than $40 million to public schools and institutions last year. But the story doesn't end with just the economics. Harvesting trees in Idaho is good for the environment. We all use wood and paper products and trees must be harvested somewhere to meet the demand we create. Most of us don't often consider the source of the products we purchase. Where do the raw materials come from and how they are produced? And what about the energy used to produce and transport products to us? When trees are harvested in Idaho , there are checks and balances to assure that the environment is protected and that reforestation will occur. Laws that protect the water, wildlife and air we all share. Modern equipment implements technologies that are light on the land and minimize environmental impacts. Harvesting and replanting also leads to healthy growing forests that produce oxygen and store carbon. In fact, the future may find growing forests as one of the key solutions to the concerns over global warming. The call to "think globally, act locally" resonates the need to support local businesses, employ local people and use resources in the best possible way. There's a lot of interest in producing products in a "sustainable" way. This means managing resources in a way that meets our resource needs and values in a way that does not compromise the capability to do so in the future. In the case of forestry, it's not just a buzzword. There are programs in place to certify forest products as sustainable by providing third-party verification of sustainable practices. There is a bright future in trees. With millions of acres of trees, Idaho is well positioned to take part in that future. In today's global market, products need to make "sense" and "cents." Research in new products such as bio-composites, engineered wood products, fuel cells, water filtering systems, biomass for energy and nanotechnology present limitless opportunities for new uses of wood. New markets for carbon credits are creating unprecedented marketing opportunities. These are some of the reasons the Idaho Forest Products Commission is sponsoring a statewide Arbor Day celebration and giving away 28,000 seedlings throughout the state. But maybe the best reason is that planting a tree is a wish for tomorrow that you make today. Use a tree. Plant a tree. Grow a tree. Happy Arbor Day. What Does Arbor Day Mean? Arbor Day is celebrated the last Friday in April each year. It’s a special holiday that has been around for well over a century, a time to plant trees and consider all the things that trees provide for us, our communities and our world. J. Sterling Morton was a man who loved trees. Morton also knew trees could help beautify his state, create windbreaks and stabilize the soil in farming communities. And so, in 1874 he created the very first Arbor Day in Nebraska. Arbor Day has endured the test of time. One hundred and thirty two years later, Arbor Day is stronger than ever. And with good reason. People love trees. Trees enrich our lives. They provide beautiful places for inspiration and reflection in our hectic lives. Trees and forests provide homes for wildlife and a filtering and holding system for our clean, precious water. Trees also provide us with products we use every day including the obvious items such as wood and paper and the not-so-obvious things like photographic film, steering wheels, ice cream and toothbrushes that are made with products that come from trees. Trees are beautiful, usable and renewable. But what does Arbor Day really mean to people in Idaho, where forty percent of the state is covered in trees? Arbor Day means different things to different people. To those who work in tree nurseries, Arbor Day celebrates what they do every day - grow trees. Idaho is home to two Forest Service nurseries that grow trees for national forests from New Mexico to the Canadian border. The University of Idaho helped find a way to grow Western White pine seedlings that were naturally resistant to the devastating blister rust disease that has been a plague to our state tree. And private nurseries across the region grow thousands of seedlings each year to renew our forests after harvest and fire. To foresters, Arbor Day is a time to reflect on what they do throughout the year - grow and harvest forests. My husband is a forester. Not so long ago, we drove by an area that had been recently harvested. While I could only see the results of the harvest - the lack of large trees, he smiled and told me to look closer. Sure enough, hundreds of healthy, young seedlings, their bright green shoots poking up out of the ground, were beginning a whole new forest cycle. To loggers and folks that haul logs and wood products, Arbor Day is a reminder that this renewable resource can provide good jobs that keep their rural communities alive and working. To the sawmills and businesses that produce lumber, plywood, trusses, windows, paper and more, Arbor Day is a time to appreciate knowing that their living and their products come from a sustainable natural resource. Nearly 15,000 Idahoans work in forest businesses and produce around $2 billion in wood products each year. These hard-working people provide an essential service to everyone that uses wood and paper products. Like farmers and ranchers, they are often under appreciated for their role in providing the things we all use every day but rarely consider their source. For firefighters, Arbor Day is a time to reflect on the miracle of forests that can be so deadly when engulfed in flames. So quiet and desolate when the embers give way to burned logs and charred soil. So miraculous in their ability to renew themselves and to grow again. For children, Arbor Day is a time to plant something that can grow with them. For adults, Arbor Day is an opportunity to beautify their communities and mark life’s special celebrations. For grandparents, Arbor Day is a way to leave a legacy which will remain long after they’ve departed. Betty J. Munis is Director of the Idaho Forest Products Commission. On Arbor Day, the Commission is sponsoring a statewide celebration and giving away blue spruce seedlings at all Home Depot and Kinko’s throughout the state. ARBOR DAY POSTER CONTEST...
