Arbor Day was begun in Nebraska in 1872 by President (and New Jersey native) Grover Cleveland\u2019s Secretary of Agriculture, J. Sterling Morton. It was part of his effort to encourage forestry and land conservation, and the planting of 1 million trees in that state. Today, unique Arbor Day celebrations are held world and country-wide, each with their own flavor and date but unified by the same theme: planting and preservation of trees and protection of the Earth\u2019s environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
