Arbor Day HistoryArbor Day encourages individuals and groups to plant and care for trees. Celebrated primarily to raise awareness towards the importance of trees, the day underlines the crucial role these steadfast beings play in sustaining the planet's wellbeing and supporting life. It emphasizes the need for tree planting, tree care, and environmental stewardship. It's a tradition that dates back to 1872 when Julius Sterling Morton, a nature-loving journalist from Nebraska, proposed a tree-planting holiday to the State Board of Agriculture, which accepted his resolution. That year, over a million trees were planted in Nebraska on the inaugural Arbor Day, boosting the state's then-sparse landscape. Today, this simple yet significant observance has grown into a nationally celebrated affair, with every state in the U.S. participating. While its roots (pun intended) are firmly established in Nebraska, Arbor Day's date varies across different states. This is due to the differences in climate and suitable tree-planting season. Arbor Day falls on the last Friday in April, but certain locations may celebrate it at a time more suited to their specific tree-planting needs. Nonetheless, wherever you are, its significance remains constant: to encourage the public to plant and nurture trees. Facts about Arbor Day
