It was on January 4, 1872, Detroit native and journalist J. Sterling Morton first proposed a tree-planting holiday to be called "Arbor Day" at a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture in Nebraska. He and his wife loved trees, and especially in the wind-prone areas of the American mid-west, the trees became essential in providing shelter, keeping soil secured, and for fuel.
After some debate, the first American Arbor day occurred on April 10, 1872. Prizes were offered to counties and individuals for planting the most significant number of trees, and over one million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day.
Today we celebrate Arbor Day on the last Friday in April in honor of J. Sterling Morton's birthday, April 22, 1832.
