About Arbor Day
The first Arbor Day was in Nebraska on April 10, 1872. J. Sterling Morton, a Nebraska City newspaper editor, talked the state into it because the prairie had almost no trees. About a million were planted that day. Morton later served as US Secretary of Agriculture.
National Arbor Day is the last Friday in April. It isn't a federal holiday, so banks, schools and offices stay open, though Nebraska treats it as a state holiday. Schools, towns and the Arbor Day Foundation hold tree plantings and hand out free seedlings. Many states pick a date that suits their own planting season, like the third Friday in January in Florida or the first Friday in November in Hawaii.

How this is calculated
Each midnight takes one off the number. Today is left out and the day itself is counted, so tomorrow shows as 1 day away. Clock changes for daylight saving make no difference.
In Excel or Google Sheets, type =DATE(2027,4,30)-TODAY() into a cell to get the same count; add 1 to include today.
Counted from Friday, October 16, 2026 (US Eastern time). When you open the page, it counts again from the date on your device, so it matches your own day.
