Arbor Day is a formally designated holiday around the world dedicated to honoring, planting and enjoying the benefits of trees.

It has been recognized in Hawai’i for over 110 years, and every November communities across the islands gather to celebrate trees!

November marks the beginning of the rainy season in Hawai‘i, which is the perfect time to plant a tree! Arbor Day in Hawai’i officially falls on the first Friday in November, however, tree giveaways and celebrations across the state typically take place on the first Saturday.

In 2021, Arbor Day Hawai’i will be celebrated on Saturday, November 6th, 2021.
