📅 What Is Arbor Day?

Arbor Day is observed in the U.S. on the last Friday of April, which falls on April 25 in 2025. It began in Nebraska in 1872 when early settlers realized the importance of trees in transforming the plains into livable, thriving spaces.

Today, Arbor Day is a national observance focused on planting and nurturing trees — a powerful way to promote environmental sustainability, community health, and natural beauty.
