Description

APRIL 29: National Arbor Day Profile America — Friday, April 29th. Today is National Arbor Day, an observance going back 150 years to celebrate nature’s bounty of trees. Arbor Day comes with plenty of flexibility, though, as different states note the occasion on different dates, and even in a different month. Julius Sterling Morton moved to the tree-poor Nebraska Territory in the mid-1850s with his wife, and while he worked as a newspaper editor and politician, they campaigned for tree planting. On April 10, 1872, it became the first state to celebrate Arbor Day. Nationwide, there are just over 1,000 people in 169 establishments engaged in operating forest nurseries, and gathering forest products. In addition, there are about 13,300 plant nurseries, garden centers and farm supply stores to aid in greening the United States.
