New Survey Highlights Demand For Corporate Climate Action
LINCOLN, Nebraska (May 16, 2023) – The Arbor Day Foundation has added a new line of house and patio trees to its online nursery, allowing people to bring the beauty and benefits of trees to their indoor spaces.
The trees are available in more than 10 different varieties. With each purchase, the Arbor Day Foundation will also plant a tree in a U.S. forest of need.
“Wildfires, storms, and disease deal devastating blows to forests every year, and this is one easy way to help them recover,” said Dan Lambe, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “We’re excited to offer this opportunity for people to support a healthier environment while adding something special to their home.”
Each tree comes in a decorative plastic pot, allowing for convenient and easy set-up. While sizes vary, most tend to reach 6 feet tall at maturity.
The Arbor Day Foundation also sells outdoor trees and shrubs, all of which plant a tree with every purchase.
“Our tree nursery has always been an important part of our mission, but until now, it’s been limited to homeowners with access to a yard,” Lambe added. “Now, renters and apartment dwellers can bring a tree home and enjoy their benefits, too.”
