Ideas for Your Reels
Looking to add short-form video to your Arbor Day promotion this year? Here are a few fun reel ideas to help capture the energy of your event. Don’t forget to add music!
Show your team unloading seedlings, tools, and supplies with a cheerful message like “We’re getting ready to plant!”
Build excitement with a countdown reel using quick clips of your crew prepping for Georgia Arbor Day.
Share photos or short clips from past Georgia Arbor Day activities to highlight your history and invite people to join in again this year.
Introduce your volunteers or partners with short clips or simple mentions to spotlight the people making your event possible.
Share general tree facts like “Planting in February helps young trees thrive” or “Trees keep our communities cooler and cleaner.”
Show your seedling giveaway setup—trays of baby trees, volunteers organizing them, or people choosing their seedlings—with text like “Take home a tree!”
Film a seedling being tucked into healthy soil with a fun caption like “Plant with us this Friday!”
Capture volunteers in action—smiling, watering seedlings, or placing mulch—to highlight the spirit of community.
Grab quick event-day snippets—people arriving, seedlings being planted, shovels hitting the soil—to show the energy of your celebration.
Show what happens next! Capture a behind-the-scenes look at how seedlings are cared for or maintained after the event.
End on a feel-good note by showing how Arbor Day efforts beautify your community—from new plantings in parks to volunteers celebrating a successful day.
Alternatively, do a quick mashup of your favorite clips to create a lively highlight reel.
We’ve also created a customizable end cap for your reels. Open the template, update the text, download it as a PNG and add it to the end of your video.
Other Useful Resources
Looking for materials to share with your community? Download a homeowner’s guide to planting trees, created by our friends at the Georgia Forestry Commission. It’s perfect for handing out alongside your seedlings! You’ll also find a folder of Arbor Day coloring pages that make a fun take-home activity for kids.
