On this Arbor Day, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of when this PSA debuted, a staple of Saturday morning television for years where Carly Cardinal and some kids sing about how Trees are Terrific. Disney's One Saturday Morning block on ABC was fond of playing this PSA a lot, and I know the "DiC Kids' Network" syndication package (at least on WSBK-38 in Boston back when they were a UPN affiliate) featured this a lot as well.
This is the ORIGINAL version, without the National Arbor Day Foundation URL on the bottom and with the original logo animation at the end, as also seen in my "The Dadgum Movies" 3D Movie Maker short.
Happy 40th anniversary, Carly Cardinal!
