Aruntx Podcasting Syndication Network Joins Americans Celebrating Arbor Day April 29.
New York, NY -- (Aruntx Newswire)
The Aruntx Podcasting Syndication Network, a division of Aruntx Publishing Company, wants you to know that the last Friday in April marks the 133rd anniversary of the Tree-Planting Holiday.
This Friday, 29 April 2005, the Aruntx Podcast Syndication Network and Aruntx Publishing Company will celebrate Arbor Day encouraging everyone, to plant a tree. Arbor Day is a nationally-celebrated observance that encourages tree planting and care. Founded by J. Sterling Morton in Nebraska in 1872, National Arbor Day is celebrated each year on the last Friday in April. On January 4, 1872, Morton first proposed a tree-planting holiday to be called "Arbor Day" at a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture. The date was set for April 10, 1872. It was estimated that more than one million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day. Today the most common date for the state observances is the last Friday in April, and several U.S. presidents have proclaimed a national Arbor Day on that date, but a number of state Arbor Days are at other times to coincide with the best tree planting weather, from January and February in the south to May in the far north. Arbor Day has now spread beyond the United States and is observed in many countries of the world. Aruntx Podcasting encourages everyone to plant a tree, add value, save energy, grow and protect the environment.
According to Enos Mills, founder of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, "The forests are the flags of nature. They appeal to all and awaken inspiring universal feelings. Enter the forest and the boundaries of nations are forgotten. It may be that some time an immortal pine will be the flag of a united and peaceful world." The Aruntx Publishing Company goal is to promote a healthy environment and a peaceful, sustainable world by spreading environmental awareness. We must continue our work to ensure that with each new dawn, the sun shines through clear skies and upon clean waters and all our families enjoy the blessings of good health. ###
