Arbor Day sprouted from the mind of a zealous tree lover named Julius Sterling Morton. A popular Arbor Day tradition is to plant a tree in honor or memory of a loved one...
By 1885, Arbor Day had become a legal holiday in Nebraska. (The date was changed to April 22 to honor Morton’s birthday.) On that day, thousands of Nebraska City citizens turned out for one big party, including 1,000 schoolchildren who formed a parade.
2012 at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park (part of Redwood National Park) using a view camera Provia 100F 4x5 film digital scan, grove of glowing lush understory of big leaf maple with sword ferns with trail at center frame. A most wonderfully green park to tent camp at mid May through June.

- Trees support our health and the health of our planet! They clean our air and water. They provide shade, which cools our urban areas. Even on a personal level, trees have been proven to calm us and reduce our stress levels.
- Trees also support wildlife and our entire ecosystem. One oak trees attracts thousands of pollinators and beneficial insects! Trees provide birds and aquatic animals with habitats. In addition, they provide humans with powerful medicine, materials for living, and agriculture.
- Finally, trees are our biggest allies as the world climate warms; they are a cost-effective way to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere today. Planting even one tree makes a difference.
