Arbor Day in the U.S. 

Arbor Day in the United States is a nationwide observance that encourages the planting and care of trees. Founded by J. Sterling Morton in Nebraska City, Nebraska, the first Arbor Day was celebrated on April 10, 1872, with the planting of approximately one million trees in Nebraska.

Today, Arbor Day is observed on the last Friday in April, although some states have their own specific dates to coincide with the best planting season for their region.
