Arbor Day originated in Nebraska in the late 1800s and is observed by dozens of countries around the world from Cambodia to Kenya. With the help of a team of volunteers, the City of Boston planted 40 trees in East Boston on this Arbor Day, but this effort is just a small piece of a much bigger plan to Grow Boston Greener (GBG).The goal of GBG is to plant 100,000 trees in the city by the year 2020 so that in the decades to come our tree canopy grows from 29 percent to 35 percent.
