The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn

Today is Arbor Day. The holiday is celebrated on the last Friday of April 


The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska. It was the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton (1832-1902), a Nebraska journalist and politician originally from Michigan.  Throughout his long and productive career, Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques in his adopted state and throughout the United States when he served as President Grover Cleveland’s Secretary of Agriculture.

But unless you plan on hugging or planting a tree, what do you care?
