    Forester Charles Mentzel demonstrates how to plant a tree seedling April 30, 2021, during the installation Arbor Day ceremony and tree planting on the cantonment area at Fort McCoy, Wis. According to history.com, the origins of Arbor Day dates back to the early 1870s in Nebraska City, Neb. A journalist by the name of Julius Sterling Morton moved to the state with his wife, Caroline, in 1854. On Jan. 7, 1872, Morton proposed a day that would encourage all Nebraskans to plant trees in their community. An agriculture board agreed, and Arbor Day was born. The first Arbor Day was held April 10, 1872. (Photo by Deana Caswell/U.S. Army Reserve Pay Office)
