It's tree time in California

It's estimated that there are up to 100 million available spaces for trees in the nation's urban areas.
So it perhaps makes sense that Arbor Day has been expanded to become Arbor Week. The tree-planting celebration begins Saturday and runs through March 14.
Or at least it does in California. National Arbor Day is held in April.
California's event comes early because now is the time best suited for tree planting.
So gather up those hoes and trowels and plant something green. Locally, the Tree Musketeers will hold a planting event in El Segundo. Go to www.treemusketeers.org for more information. To learn more about Arbor Day, visit www.arborday.org.
