What Is Arbor Day and Why Is It Important?
Arbor Day 2025 falls on Friday, April 25, and is dedicated to planting, protecting, and celebrating trees. First celebrated in 1872 in Nebraska, it was founded by J. Sterling Morton as a call to reforest landscapes and promote environmental stewardship. That first Arbor Day led to over one million trees being planted—a tradition that quickly grew into a national movement.
At its core, Arbor Day highlights the vital role trees play in our lives. Trees help fight climate change by storing carbon, purify the air we breathe, reduce erosion, and support biodiversity. They provide cooling shade, wildlife habitats, and mental well-being. Arbor Day serves as a yearly reminder that trees aren’t just part of the landscape—they’re essential to life on Earth.
What Is the Arbor Day Foundation?
The Arbor Day Foundation, established in 1972, is a nonprofit organization that inspires people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. Through global reforestation efforts, community outreach programs, and initiatives like Tree City USA, the Foundation has helped plant hundreds of millions of trees worldwide.
One of its most popular efforts includes a member program that sends 10 free trees to individuals who want to grow their impact at home. It’s a simple way for anyone to participate in restoring forests and improving air quality right in their own backyard.

Designed With the Trees in Mind
At EcoBlvd, trees have shaped more than just our materials—they’ve shaped our mission. That’s why we created the Sequoia Collection phone cases, named after one of the planet’s most enduring symbols of strength and longevity. Built to last, each Sequoia phone case stands as a tribute to nature’s resilience—and helps protect it too. Every purchase plants a tree in a U.S. national park through our partnership with the National Forest Foundation.
But that spirit of honoring trees runs through more than just Sequoia. Across our other collections, you’ll find designs that reflect the beauty, strength, and seasonality of trees around the world:
-
Forest captures the stillness of pine-lined landscapes.
-
Winter Pine nods to the quiet calm of alpine evergreens.
-
Joshua Tree embodies rugged desert strength.
-
Autumn Canvas mirrors the bold transitions of fall foliage.
-
Endless Summer, Cruel Summer, 90210, and Under the Palms bring the laid-back silhouettes of iconic palm trees to life.
From our Wanderlust Collection to Autumn, Summer, and even Winter the influence of trees is embedded in our designs—each case a visual reminder of what we’re working to protect.
Packaging That Protects the Trees
Our packaging is designed with the same care. Using FSC-certified recycled paper, it’s 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and responsibly sourced—reducing waste without compromising quality. We’ve also swapped traditional inserts for QR codes, minimizing paper use while delivering the info customers need.
At every step, EcoBlvd stays rooted in the belief that sustainable design isn’t just about what’s made—it’s about what’s preserved.
Conclusion:
As Arbor Day 2025 reminds us, trees are the quiet guardians of our planet—essential to a thriving future. Whether you plant a tree, support reforestation, or choose products made with sustainability in mind, every action counts. At EcoBlvd, we design with that purpose in mind.
