When is Arbor Day? National Arbor Day in the U.S. is April 24, 2026. 

Many states choose dates better suited to local planting climates, such as November in Hawaii. 

Here, in the Great White North,  National Tree Day in Canada is celebrated on the Wednesday of National Forest Week in September, and it is focusing on planting, education, and appreciating the role of trees. Some regions, like Alberta, hold specific spring events, but the the national focus is in autumn. It serves as a, day for environmental action, often involving tree planting, education, and community activities 

 

Arbor Day was founded by J. Sterling Morton in 1872 to encourage tree planting for shade, fuel, and beauty, it is typically observed in spring (last Friday in April in the US).
