Happy Arbor Day!

Hi, it’s Leslie Harris, and today is the 150th celebration of arbor day, according to the Arbor Day Foundation, although some say it dates all the way back to 1594, in a village in Spain called Mondoñedo.

The first American Arbor Day was started by J Sterling Morton, yes, the guy that the Morton Arboretum I Lisle was named after. Find out more about this holiday and how you can help get more trees planted by visiting the Arbor Day Foundation’s website HERE
