Arbor Day originated in Nebraska, USA. 1872, Julius Sterling Moreton, a famous American agronomist, proposed to stipulate Arbor Day in Nebraska to mobilize people to plant trees in a planned way. At that time, the state agricultural bureau adopted this proposal through a resolution, and the governor personally stipulated that the third Wednesday of April would be Arbor Day every year.

Arbor Day is a festival to publicize and protect trees according to law, and to organize and mobilize the masses to actively participate in afforestation.
