1 What and when is Arbor Day? ANSWER: When Columbus came to America, the land was a wilderness. Most of it was covered by trees. But as man settled the land he cut down the trees to have room to farm. He used the wood for homes, fences and firewood. Eventually, there once had been large forests, a person could travel for many miles without seeing a tree.

Just after the Civil "War, people began to realize that unless something was done the time would come when there would be no more trees to supply this country's needs for lumber. One of these people J. Sterling Morton, a newspaper publisher of Nebraska City, Neb. He proposed that a special day be set aside for the planting of trees. This day was called Arbor means the first one was held in Nebraska on April 10, 1872.

Another man, Blrdsey Northrup of Connecticut, travelled widely lecturing on the need for conservation of trees and spreading the Arbor Day Idea. Today every state celebrates Arbor Day with special tree-planting ceremonies. However, states celebrate it at different times. In the North, it is celebrated in April or early May while southern states observe Arbor Day at various times from December through March.
