From NYS DEC:

Happy #ArborDay! Today we celebrate the role of trees in our lives and promote tree planting and care.

🌳 Arbor Day was first celebrated in 1872 and was established to encourage farmers/homesteaders to plants trees to provide shade, shelter, food, fuel, and beauty to open areas.

🌳 In New York State, Arbor Day is traditionally celebrated the last Friday in April, but celebrating and caring for trees can be done all year round!
