About this countdown
This countdown targets Arbor Day on Friday, April 30, 2027, set by the rule: Last Friday in April. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Arbor Day is a state holiday, so the date matters for more than the celebration — government offices close and many employers follow suit. Arbor Day, the last Friday in April, is a tree-planitng holiday that began in Nebraska in 1872. Nebraska is the only state where it is a paid state holiday with closed state offices; everywhere else it is an observance and business runs as usual.
