~J. Sterling Morton

The Arbor Day Foundation

The Arbor Day Foundation states,

“While most holidays celebrate something that has already happened and is worth remembering, Arbor Day represents a hope for the future. The simple act of planting a tree represents a belief that the tree will grow to provide us with clean air and water, cooling shade, habitat for wildlife, healthier communities, and endless natural beauty – all for a better tomorrow.”

~ Arbor Day Foundation

Which States Celebrate National Arbor Day?

Arbor Day is being celebrated annually throughout the world but certain states observe this day according to their respective planting seasons. Let’s read out some of the states’ National Arbor Day.

National Arbor Day History

In the United States, Arbor Day was first celebrated in Nebraska City, on April 10, 1872, as an appreciation to the endeavor of journalist Julius Sterling Morton. Morton and his wife, Caroline, shifted to Nebraska city in 1854 onto a 160-acre treeless estate. Morton planted more than 1,000 plants in the treeless state, including apple and plum orchards as well as shrubs. He stimulated tree planting for its environmental advantages in the Nebraska City News. Soon he worked with the Nebraska Board of Agriculture. Morton and his followers planted more than one million trees to lower hot weather and agriculture suffering.

Arbor Day was first perceived as a holiday on April 22, 1885, to praise Morton’s birthday as well as its excellent idea for tree planting. President Grover Cleveland appointed Morton as his Secretary of Agriculture. In 1902, Morton passed away and five years after Morton’s death, President Theodore Roosevelt disseminated an Arbor Day Proclamation to American students, saying:

“It is well that you should celebrate your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for within your lifetimes the Nation’s need for trees will become serious. We of an older generation can get along with what we have, though with growing hardship; but in your full manhood and womanhood you will want what nature once so bountifully supplied and man so thoughtlessly destroyed. A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as hopeless; forests which are so used can not renew themselves will soon vanish and with them all their benefits.

A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or to plant new ones you are acting the part of good citizens. The value of forestry deserves, therefore, to be taught in the schools, which aim to make good citizens of you. If your Arbor Day exercises help you to realize what benefits each one of you receives from the forests, and how by your assistance these benefits may continue, they will serve a good end.”

~ President Theodore Roosevelt

♦ President Richard Nixon claimed Arbor Day a national holiday in 1970.

National Arbor Day Quotes

What does he plant who plants a tree?

He plants cool shade and tender rain,

And seed and bud of days to be,

And years that fade and flush again;

He plants the glory of the plain;

He plants the forest’s heritage;

The harvest of a coming age;

The joy that unborn eyes shall see–

These things he plants who plants a tree. ~Henry Cuyler Bunner (1855-1896)
