Yep it's here, our own Nebraska home grown Holiday. A local nurserie's radio ad says they will "install" any tree over $150 for free.
J. Sterling Morton was an early Nebraska settler and pushed for his holiday.
What chance would it have today, replace a viable native enviroment with a non-native one, often involving non-native species.
Ok I like trees, but I like prairie also and the tall grass type is almost gone.
BTW an acre of healthy tall grass prairie is said to produce more O2 in a year than an acre of rain forest.
