The early settlers who came from the eastern United States were used to having lots of trees around. They found it hard to live in a treeless place like Nebraska. And they needed trees for building and for fuel. So they started many tree-planting programs that went on for years and years. Finally, in 1872 a newspaperman named J. Sterling Morton had an idea. Why not have a special day for planting trees? So Arbor Day was born, and on April 10, 1872, the first Arbor Day was celebrated. The state government announced that it would give prizes to individuals and groups who planted most trees. On that first day, more than one million trees were planted in Nebraska.
