What is an Arbor Day?

День посадки деревьев

Every year the United States celebrates Arbor Day, a national holiday that began in Nebraska.

The holiday ‘s founder is Julius Sterling Morton. All his life Morton grew trees and asked others to grow trees. He proposed to set one day each year for tree planting. People liked his idea. On the first celebration of Arbor Day, in 1872, people planted more than one million trees in Nebraska.

. Arbor Day became a legal holiday in Nebraska on April 22, 1885, Morton s birthday.

In different countries, Arbor Day is celebrated on different dates. It depends on the best time for planting trees.
