Did you know that fall is an ideal time to plant a tree? While the weather has been hot this week, cooler weather will be here soon! Trees benefit you daily – they clean the air, provide shade and intercept stormwater. Planting more trees in Columbus to increase the City’s tree canopy is a vital part of Columbus’ Urban Forestry Master Plan. Check out easy tips on how to plant a tree in your backyard.
