Answer 2

Arbor Day was the idea of Nebraska pioneer and statesman, J. Sterling Morton, who, in 1872, proclaimed Arbor Day as a day to be set aside for planting trees. More than a million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day. It turned out to be such a good idea that it soon spread to neighboring states. Today, it is celebrated in all 50 states and many countries around the world, often on different dates to best align with the right time for planting in the region. The nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation was started in 1972, the centennial of the first Arbor Day, to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. Today, the Foundation has more than a million members who share this mission.
