When is Arbor Day 2027?

National Arbor Day is the last Friday in April, which is Friday, April 30 in 2027. Some states hold their own Arbor Day on another date that suits their planting season.

Arbor Day is a day for planting trees and learning why they matter. Trees give shade, clean the air, hold soil in place and give homes to birds and other animals, so many schools plant a tree or care for the ones they have.

Who started Arbor Day?

J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska. The first Arbor Day was held in Nebraska on April 10, 1872, and people planted about a million trees that day. The What Is Arbor Day? poster tells the story for K to 2nd grade.
