2024 Earth Day/Arbor Day

2024 Earth Day/Arbor Day

The Environmental Management Office (EMO) invites you to participate in NASA Langley’s 2024 Earth Day/Arbor Day celebration. We are excited to offer a presentation, Center bird walk, and plastic bag recycling collection. These events are an opportunity for personnel to get involved, learn something new, and connect with the Earth.

Arbor Day is observed each year on the last Friday in April to celebrate the importance of trees in our lives.

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated worldwide on April 22nd to demonstrate support for environmental protection.

Tree City USA is a national recognition program that began in 1976 and is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and National Association of State Foresters. By meeting the program’s four core standards of sound urban forestry management, NASA Langley has been recognized as a Tree City USA participant for over a decade! In honor of Arbor Day and NASA Langley’s continued acceptance in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, view the 2024 Arbor Day proclamation below.
