Laminated poster has green printed edges and a red border enclosing a white, unprinted background. At the top is an image of a man in black and white with a color illustration of a tree bearing red fruit (apple tree?) in his illustrated hand. The fruit of the tree have color photos of trees in various landscapes - along a river, in a city, on the edges of a meadow and in a forest. At the top left, overlapping the tree, is "Arbor Day / a celebration of stewardship" in red. Below the tree, to the left of the man, is a section of text about stewardship, followed by a quote by J. Sterling Morton, all in black. Below the image of the man is a short biography of Morton and his role in establishing Arbor Day as a holiday. At the bottom left is a color illustration of how plants, animals and the sun interact, with associated black text decribing the processes. At the bottom right is a color photo of a tree on an eroded hill, with black text at the left serving as a warning against ignoring stewardship responsibilities. Across the bottom edge of the poster is the Arbor Day logo and "The National Arbor Day Foundation" all in white.
