Arbor Day Leaves A Complete Programme For Arbor Day Observance, Including Readings, Recitations, Music, and General Information

This guide offers a thoughtful program for celebrating Arbor Day, emphasizing the original purpose of the holiday: planting trees for lasting benefit to the nation. Drawing on the legacy of J. Sterling Morton and the spread of the observance from Nebraska to schools across the country, it weaves history, poetry, and practical advice into a single resource. Readers will discover how the day evolved from simple planting to a school‑wide festival that connects youth with the science and literature of trees.

The book supplies ready‑made readings, recitations, and musical selections, all chosen for their literary quality and relevance to the natural world. It also includes clear instructions for organizing a ceremony, background on tree species, and ideas for turning a planting into a lasting memorial. Ideal for teachers, community leaders, or anyone eager to nurture both seedlings and curiosity, the program invites participants to plant ideas as firmly as they plant saplings.
