6TH ANNUAL

ARBOR DAY GIVEAWAY


Growing Community, One Tree at a Time

Each year, American Arborist celebrates Arbor Day by giving back through the gift of trees and tree care. It’s our way of supporting the people and places that make our community strong—and planting seeds for an even better tomorrow.

This Arbor Day, we’re honored to serve in three meaningful ways:

Someone who could use a hand with their tree care, and whose story deserves support.

free tree service FOR SKUTT FAMILY

As proud Skutt Catholic High School alumni, we’re giving back to the school community that helped shape us. We’ll be providing a free tree service to a Skutt family, reinforcing the deep roots and lasting relationships we continue to grow with the school.

free tree planting

We’re planting a free tree for a local organization in need—one that’s doing important work in our community. A tree is a gift that grows with time, offering shade, beauty, and a symbol of lasting impact.

Know someone who could use our services?

CONTACT US TO NOMIATE THEM!

Trees connect us, grow with us and remind us that the best things in life take time, care, and strong roots.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to give back—one tree at a time.

2025 ARBOR DAY GIVEAWAY

Sami Ketelsen family

For Arbor Day 2025, we partnered with Skutt Catholic High School, where we met Nick Skar — a courageous sophomore who was diagnosed with leukemia during his freshman year. It was an honor to meet Nick and his family, hear their story, and witness the strength and resilience he has shown throughout his journey.

We also had the opportunity to support a young woman bravely facing her own battle with cancer, who dedicates her days to caring for others at an assisted living facility here in Omaha.

To finish the day, our team planted a Northern Oak tree at All Saints Episcopal Church - Omaha to help enhance their outdoor prayer area — creating a peaceful space for reflection and hope.

We are incredibly grateful for our amazing team at American Arborist, who make it possible to continue giving back to the community.

2024 ARBOR DAY GIVEAWAY

Sami Ketelsen family

We had the honor of helping out the Ketelsen family for our annual Arbor Day Giveaway.

On January 5th, 2024, vibrant 14-year-old, Sami Ketelsen, received the challenging news of a cancerous lesion on her hip. Her parents Melissa and Justin are tirelessly working towards the right diagnosis and treatment plan. On Monday March 18th, Sami had surgery to remove the primary tumor. Because of its placement on her pelvis it will required removal of her right pelvis, hip joint and leg. As the oncologist said, “This is a major part of her cure. We still need chemo to work. Chemo will continue for months after surgery. But without the surgery there would be no cure. "

Thanks to Jeremy Moore and Skutt Catholic High School for nominating the family. We wish Sami and her family all the best.
