Arbor Day was founded in the United States in 1872 in Nebraska City, Nebraska. The national holiday is celebrated every year on the last Friday in April. On the first Arbor Day, April 10, 1872, an estimated one million trees were planted. How many will be planted on Arbor Day, 2010? Well that's a mystery!
Planting trees is a wonderful way to show that you care about our planet. Humans like you and me have all contributed to global climate change and fossil fuel pollution. Just one tree can capture a ton of carbon dioxide in its lifetime.
Plant a tree today. Watch it grow. Take in its beauty. Give something back. Help change the world. Happy Arbor Day!
