On the first Arbor Day, April 10, 1872, more than one million trees were planted across Nebraska!🌳 What started as a single day of action quickly took root nationwide, and within 20 years, every state was celebrating Arbor Day. Celebrated on the last Friday of April.
Trees do more than beautify our communities, they conserve water by reducing evaporation, provide cooling shade, boost property values, and create vital habitats for wildlife. Plant a tree. Grow a legacy. 🌱
