American Arbor Day was founded by J. Sterling Morton in Nebraska in 1872. In 1875, Tennessee became one of the first states to start celebrating this special environmental holiday that is meant to create "a better understanding of nature and the importance of protecting wildlife, planting and cultivating flowers, and setting and protecting trees." Brentwood, Tennessee has an annual tradition of Arbor Day festivities.
