Col. Martha Meeker selects students to assist her in planting an Eastern Redbud tree during the Earth Day festivities held on the picnic grounds at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., March 24, 2010. The festival celebrates Earth day in conjunction with Arbor Day. Arbor day was originally founded by J. Sterling Morton in 1872. By the 1920s each state in the United States had passed public laws that stipulated a certain day to be Arbor Day or Arbor and Bird Day observance. These dates were established depending on climate and suitable planting times. Colonel Meeker is the 628th Air Base Wing Commander. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Airman 1st Class Lauren Main)
