April is Earth Month and we're talking about the important role trees play in our lives. 

Each year, 36 million trees are lost from our communities due to age, disease, pests and severe weather. 

To tackle this issue, the Arbor Day Foundation has partnered with Subaru to plant more trees. 

Dan Lambe, CEO of the Arbor Day Foundation, joins Spectrum News 1 to discuss how trees enhance the health of our communities, benefits of planting trees, Arbor Day Foundation’s mission and partnership with Subaru, plans across New York state and more. 

Arbor Day is April 25.
