Hug a Tree - It's Arbor Day!


Wow. It's estimated that nearly 1 million trees were planted on the first Arbor Day celebration - in 1872, no less!

Arbor Day, originated on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska City, Nebraska by J. Sterling Morton, as a day to encourage the care and planting of trees at home, neighborhoods and communities.

So, hug a tree, save a tree, plant a tree - it's Arbor Day!

Seriously - PLANT A TREE - there's an 1872 record to beat!
