1872, Julius Sterling Moreton, a famous American agronomist, proposed to stipulate Arbor Day in Nebraska to mobilize people to plant trees in a planned way. At that time, the state agricultural bureau adopted this proposal through a resolution, and the governor personally stipulated that the third Wednesday of April would be Arbor Day every year. After making this decision, millions of trees were planted that year.

In the following 16 years, 600 million trees were planted one after another, eventually turning the 654.38+10,000 hectares of wilderness in Nebraska into dense forests. In recognition of Moreton's achievements, 1885, the state legislature officially designated April 22nd, Mr. Moreton's birthday, as the annual Arbor Day, with one day off. At the same time, 1932 issued the world's first Arbor Day stamp, showing two children planting trees.
