Most people have heard of Arbor Day and The Arbor Day Foundation, but 411 Pain would like to share a bit of the history with you.

It all began back in 1845, when the first pioneers were moving out to Nebraska. Among them was J Sterling Morton of Detroit.
Once the settlers arrived in Nebraska, they were surprised and disappointed at the lack of trees. Nebraska is, after all, in the Great American Prairie.
The pioneers missed trees and also understood the need for them - trees provide shade, shelter from wind and a weight to keep soil in place and wood with it's myriad of uses.
Morton spread his enthusiasm and by 1872, a plan was set in motion to have an "Arbor Day" with prizes awarded to whoever planted the most trees. The date was April 10, and an estimated ONE MILLION TREES were planted in Nebraska that day!
In 1885, Arbor Day became a legal holiday and April 22 - J Sterling Morton's birthday, became the official date of it's celebration.
Celebrations took place with parades and tree plantings - and school children would gather together by grade and plant a tree that they would care for.
Throughout the 1870s, more states passed legislation to celebrate Arbor Day and in 1882 the the schools nationwide adopted the tradition.

Arbor Day is currently celebrated in the United States the last Friday in April, but due to variance in planting seasons, some states celebrate in different months. 411 Pain provides the following list of when Arbor Day is observed in each state and the state tree.
