   Every year people celebrate Arbor Day. It began in Nebraska* in 1872. The idea of the holiday came from Julius Sterling Morton. All his life Morton grew trees and asked other people to plant trees. He also wanted to set up one day each year for tree planting. People liked his idea. He said about the holiday: “Other holidays celebrate the past. Arbor Day celebrates the future.” On the first celebration of Arbor Day, on April 10, 1872, people planted more than a million trees in Nebraska. Arbor Day became an official holiday in Nebraska on April 22, 1885, Morton’s birthday.
