J. Sterling Morton started Arbor Day on April 10th, 1872. Arbor Day was started in Nebraska City, Nebraska. We now celebrate Arbor Day on J. Sterling Morton's birthday which is April 22nd. A Poem by Mrs. Hoshor's Second Graders Animals live in trees, With many, many leaves. For us in Second Grade.
Trees clean our air, With oxygen to spare.
Trees have a root, To keep the soil put. Trees give us lots of things, Plant a tree every spring.
