What is Arbor Day?

Tree advocate and Nebraskan newspaper editor turned Secretary of Agriculture, J. Sterling Morton, founded Arbor Day in the United States in 1872. Commemorated primarily in Nebraska that year, it is estimated that more than one million trees were planted for the inaugural Arbor Day. Almost 150 years later, Morton's statement, "Other holidays repose upon the past; Arbor Day proposes for the future' still holds true. Now honored by individuals, schools, businesses and communities around the globe, the annual event's goals center around planting trees, practicing conservation and caring for the environment that will be handed down to the next generation. Nationally, Arbor Day marks the last Friday of April; however, ideal tree planting season dictates the specific date observed individually by states as well as other countries.

How to Celebrate Arbor Day

Arbor Day not only cultivates connection with our beautiful Mother Earth but also with family, friends, co-workers and even strangers. Most popularly, communities plant trees together to signify the holiday, and a considerate Arbor Day gift is to dedicate your tree to a loved one. However, if you are unable to plant a tree, there are still a number of ways to participate in Arbor Day festivities. Visit your local arboretum or botanical garden and learn more about trees and woody plants and what you can do to protect them. Work with your child's school or local library to initiate programs educating on the benefits of recycling or ways to make small lifestyle changes that have a big impact on our environment. Whether you are planting the next member of the redwoods forest or simply switching over to e-bills, Arbor Day is about giving back to the ones that give so much to us - our trees.
