Arbor Day, J. Sterling Morton's Legacy of Trees How
one man's passion to beautify a treeless prairie led to a worldwide holiday of
environmental awareness. Long before we celebrated Arbor Day, before anyone
came up with the term ecology or the idea of an Earth Day, even before most
people would have guessed that we should pay attention to the health of our
environment...there was Julius Sterling Morton. If you've ever doubted that one
person can have a major positive influence on the Earth, you should know the
story of J. Sterling Morton and how his belief in the beauty and necessity of
trees has literally changed the landscape for over 100 years.
