Celebrating Nature: A Look Into Arbor Day – March 12
The sight of lush, green forests and towering trees has always inspired awe and tranquility. Trees add color and serenity to our world, serving as nature’s guardians and vital contributors to our well-being. Each year on March 12, we celebrate Arbor Day—a day dedicated to honoring the essential role trees play in our lives and encouraging everyone to reflect on their impact on the environment.
Arbor Day began in the United States in the mid-1800s, thanks to the vision of J. Sterling Morton. Recognizing the urgent need for more trees on the open plains and farmlands, Morton proposed a special day for tree planting. The first Arbor Day was held on April 10, 1872, in Nebraska. Today, Arbor Day is recognized around the world, uniting nations in a shared commitment to environmental stewardship.
