Plumbers who've sacrificed trees in the past now work to save them. On April 30, Americans will celebrate Arbor Day, the national observance that encourages and celebrates tree planting and tree care. Each year, thousands of trees are planted on Arbor Day but sadly, many mature trees are lost at the hands of plumbers.

That is, until the roots grow large enough to break the pipes, forcing homeowners to seek repairs.
