Happy National Arbor Day! Each year in April, this day encourages us to celebrate and plant trees. The observance takes place each year on the last Friday in April.
Trees provide vital protection for the Earth’s topsoil from erosion, oxygen, and homes for wildlife. They also are a renewable resource that provides a variety of materials for building, fuel, and office supplies.
Trees beautify our environment, provide shade on a sunny day, and improve our quality of life. The day celebrates all these things and aims for American generations to enjoy all the benefits trees have to offer.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Celebrate the day by planting a tree today. You can also spend time caring for trees in your area. Join an event near you or organize one in your community.
Consider the trees you plant as well. While you may look for fast-growing trees so that you may enjoy the tree during your life-time, planting a slower growing tree is an investment in the future.
Generations to come will enjoy the shade and beauty of the tree long after we’re gone. And leaving something as precious as a tree behind is quite the investment.

HISTORY
On April 10, 1872, American political figure, journalist and newspaper editor J.Sterling Morton established Arbor Day in the state of Nebraska with hopes that it would spread across the country.
This first celebration challenged the people of Nebraska to plant as many trees as they possibly could. Since the pioneers missed the trees and forests of the east, they answer the challenge by planting more than one million trees that very first year!
