Arbor Day！

Arbor Day is a festival that publicizes and protects trees in accordance with the law, and organizes and mobilizes the masses to actively participate in the activities of tree planting. According to the length of time, it can be divided into tree-planting day, tree-planting week and tree-planting month, which are collectively called International Arbor Day. It is advocated that through this kind of activities, people’s enthusiasm for afforestation will be stimulated and they will realize the importance of environmental protection.
China’s Arbor Day was initiated by Ling Daoyang, Han An, Pei Yili and other forest scientists in 1915, and the time was initially set on the annual Qingming Festival. In 1928, the National Government changed the Arbor Day to March 12 to commemorate the third anniversary of Sun Yat-sen’s death. In 1979, after the founding of New China, at the suggestion of Deng Xiaoping, the sixth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People’s Congress decided to designate March 12 every year as Arbor Day.
From July 1, 2020, the newly revised “Forest Law of the People’s Republic of China” will be implemented, making it clear that March 12 is the Arbor Day.

The Arbor Day emblem is a symbol of general meaning.
1. The shape of a tree means that the whole people are obliged to plant 3 to 5 trees, and everyone will do it to green the motherland.
2. “China Arbor Day” and “3.12″, expressing the determination to transform nature, benefit mankind, plant trees every year, and persevere.
3. Five trees may mean “forest”, which extends and connects the outer circle, showing the greening of the motherland and the realization of a virtuous circle of natural ecosystems with forests as the main body.
