Ah, Arbor Day! The first American Arbor Day was way back on April 10th, 1872. However, the first Earth Day was on April 22nd, 1970, and since that year Arbor Day has sadly become sort of a forgotten holiday. If that’s not enough, Arbor Day is on April 29th, and Earth Day is on April 22nd in 2022, so they are exactly only one week apart this year.
