~~~~~~National Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday in April~~~~~~
~April 24th, 2009~

"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
~Psalm 1:3~

This is how the Bible describes a "Godly" man. Strong and wise, like a TREE with roots firmly planted. One who will not be driven by the wind. One that is not like chaff.

In the year 2006 it will be on Friday April 28th, 2006

National Arbor Day is the last Friday in April, but many states observe Arbor Day on different dates according to their best tree-planting times. Check the list below to find out when your state or territory observes Arbor Day. Also listed is each state's official state tree.

Some people plant trees to commemorate special events. For the birth of a child or the death of a loved one. Because it will grow and last for years. So that they can remember.

Plant a Tree - Happy Arbor Day!

"Arbor Day which has already transplanted itself to every state in the American Union and has even been adopted in foreign lands... is not like other holidays. Each of those reposes on the past, while Arbor Day proposes for the future."
----J. Sterling Morton----

Arbor means "tree" in Latin. Arbor Day is a special day that has been set aside for planting and caring for trees. The first Arbor Day was celebrated in Nebraska on April 10, 1872. It was started by J. Sterling Morton, a Nebraska newspaper publisher who encouraged Nebraskans to plant trees to beautify and enrich the treeless state. He offered prizes for the most trees planted; over a million trees were planted on that first Arbor Day.

Isaiah 65:22 "They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree [are] the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands."

Deuteronomy 16:21 tells us where NOT to plant trees: "Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee."

Ecclesiastes 3:2 Tells us that there is a time for everything under heaven. " A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;"

Genesis 1:11 "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so."

Genesis 2:9 "And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."

Genesis 1:29 " And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

God created the trees!

Nave's Topical Bible: TREE

Easton's Bible Dictionary
Bay tree
named only in Ps. 37:35, Authorized Version. The Hebrew word so rendered is ereh, which simply means "native born", i.e., a tree not transplanted, but growing on its native soil, and therefore luxuriantly. If the psalmist intended by this word to denote any particular tree, it may have been the evergreen bay laurel (Laurus nobilis), which is a native of Palestine. Instead of "like a green bay tree" in the Authorized Version, the Revised Version has, "like a green tree in its native soil."

Here is a search for Botany in the Bible by Nave's Topical Bible. You will find the "Poplar", "Ash" and more.
