Earth Day may be marked on the calendar once a year, but the need to care for our planet is ongoing. At Cold Stream Farm, we believe Earth Day is more than a celebration — it’s a mindset. Planting trees, restoring habitats, and building a healthier future for people and wildlife shouldn’t be limited to just one day. These actions matter every day of the year.
Trees and Shrubs: Quiet Heroes of the Environment
Every tree you plant brings benefits far beyond what’s visible. Trees clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Their roots hold soil in place, filter water, and reduce runoff. Trees also provide food and shelter to wildlife — especially when native species are planted.
Shrubs and understory plants fill in vital gaps in the ecosystem, offering nesting sites and nectar sources for birds, bees, and butterflies. By planting native species like those offered at Cold Stream Farm, you’re strengthening local ecosystems from the ground up.
Why Planting Needs to Be a Year-Round Effort
It’s easy to think of planting as a seasonal activity — something to do in spring or fall. But the truth is, caring for the planet is a year-round responsibility. Whether you’re planting a few trees in your yard or reforesting acres of land, each effort contributes to cleaner air, richer soil, and stronger habitats.
Our bare root trees and shrubs are an ideal option for anyone working on large-scale planting projects or habitat restoration. They’re affordable, lightweight, and easy to plant — making them perfect for conservation groups, schools, municipalities, and private landowners alike.
Start Something That Lasts
When you plant a tree, you plant hope. Hope for a greener future. Hope for healthier ecosystems. Hope for generations to come.
At Cold Stream Farm, we’ve helped individuals and organizations grow with purpose for over 40 years. With no minimum order and discounts for larger quantities, it’s easy to make an impact — whether you’re planting ten trees or a thousand.
