Arbor Day is an annual celebration in the United States and Australia to raise awareness of the importance of planting trees. The celebration began in 1594 in Mondoñedo, Spain with a festival.
The first modern day Arbor Day was also held in Spain in the village of Villanueva de la Sierra in 1805.
Americans began celebrating Arbor Day in Nebraska City in 1872.
