The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska. It was
the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton (1832-1902) , a Nebraska
journalist and politician originally from Michigan. Throughout his long and
productive career, Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques in
his adopted state and throughout the United States when he served as
President Grover Cleveland's Secretary of Agriculture. But his most
important legacy is Arbor Day.
Morton (photo, right) felt that Nebraska's landscape and economy
would benefit from the wide-scale planting of trees. He set an example
himself planting orchards, shade trees and wind breaks on his own farm
and he urged his neighbours to follow suit. Morton's real opportunity,
though, arrived when he became a member of Nebraska's state board of
agriculture. He proposed that a special day be set aside dedicated to tree
planting and increasing awareness of the importance of trees. Nebraska's
first Arbor Day was an amazing success. More than one million trees were
planted. A second Arbor Day took place in 1884 and the young state made
it an annual legal holiday in 1885, using April 22nd to coincide with
Morton's birthday.
In the years following that first Arbor Day, Morton's idea spread
beyond Nebraska with Kansas, Tennessee, Minnesota and Ohio all
proclaiming their own Arbor Days. Today all 50 states celebrate Arbor Day
although the dates may vary in keeping with the local climate. (State Arbor
Days) At the federal level, in 1970, President Richard Nixon proclaimed
the last Friday in April as National Arbor Day. Arbor Day is also now
celebrated in other countries including Australia. Variations are
celebrated as 'Greening Week' of Japan, 'The New Year's Days of Trees' in
Israel, 'The Tree-loving Week' of Korea, 'The Reforestation Week' of
Yugoslavia, 'The Students' Afforestation Day' of Iceland and 'The National
Festival of Tree Planting' in India. Julius Sterling Morton would be proud.
Sometimes one good idea can make a real difference.
For the homeowner, Arbor Day is an excellent opportunity to take
stock of the trees on your property and plan for the future. Inspect your
trees. Note any broken branches or evidence of disease or insect
infestation. Think about how planting new trees might improve the look of
your property or provide wind or heat protection. Take a trip to your local
nursery to see what's available and to get new ideas. Walk around your
neighbourhood. Are there any public areas where tree planting or tree
maintenance might make a real difference to your community? Talk with
your neighbours. Find out what their opinions are. And, oh yes, plant a
tree.
