The first Arbor Day was celebrated in the State of Nebraska in 1872, in response to a state proclamation urging settlers and homesteaders in that prairie state to plant trees that would provide shade, shelter, fruit, fuel, and beauty for residents of the largely treeless plains. More than one million trees were planted that first Arbor Day. Planting trees would be a great community service project, it is environmentally sound, and provides a great media opportunity.
