Arbor Day is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees. Many countries now observe a similar holiday. Though usually observed in the spring, the date varies, depending on climate and suitable planting season。

植物节是个人或是团队一起种植和关爱树木的节目。许多国家都庆祝植树节，不过虽然都是在春天，但根据天气和合适植树的时间不同，植树节的具体日期也有不同。

近代最早设立植树节的是美国的内布拉斯加州。1872年4月10日，莫顿在内布拉斯加州园林协会举行的一次会议上，提出了设立重视节的建议。该州采纳了莫顿的建议，把4月10日定为该州的植树节，并于1932年发行世界上首枚植树节邮票。

中国的植树节定于3月12日。1979年2月，中国第五届全国人大常委会第六次会议决定，将每年的3月12日定为中国的植树节。1981年12月，五届全国人大四次会议又通过了《关于开展全民义务植树运动的决议》，国务院于次年颁布了全民义务植树运动的具体实施办法。植树节前后，我国各地都要集中进行植树造林活动。

植树节的来历

In many countries it has long been the tradition to hold an annual tree or forest festival. The origin of such celebrations dates back to antiquity and is in the dawn of religious feeling and awe for what trees represented. However, Arbor Day, as it is commonly known today, is of American origin and evolved from conditions peculiar to the Great Plains. It was first observed in Nebraska in 1872.

The idea, conceived by J.S. Morton, then a member of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, was one of forest conservation. It was a move to promote replanting, following deforestation, and to plant up treeless areas. The idea has spread widely to other lands where it is variously celebrated as the 'Festival of Trees', 'Greening Week' of Japan, 'The New Year's Days of Trees' in Israel, 'The Tree-loving Week' of Korea, 'The Reforestation Week' of Yugoslavia, 'The Students' Afforestation Day' of Iceland and 'The National Festival of Tree Planting' in India. Arbor Day in its various forms is now recognised in more than fifty countries.

植树节的重要意义

THE IMPORTANCE OF ARBOR DAY

On Arbor Day, particular attention is drawn to the part trees play in our lives. It's not just a day to plant trees and then forget the gesture for another twelve months. Planting a tree one day is no credit to us if, during the rest of the year, we neglect to care for it and those already growing. Our thought on Arbor Day should be an expression of enduring feeling, thought and action and not just one single, isolated flame of interest.

植树节活动方案

In schools and other community groups, this day can be celebrated in many different ways.

·By planting trees or shrubs in school grounds, along neighbouring streets or in civic parks.

·By 'adopting' a patch of bush, with the landowner's consent, and caring for it by removal of weeds, rubbish, etc, by preparing firebreaks and by fencing and making paths to reduce trampling.

·By presenting a play or mime about trees in the history of Australia.

·By completing a project about certain types of trees (eg. jarrah, boab, karri) or a famous tree like the Gloucester Tree near Pemberton.

·As a class activity or common interest group go on a visit to a bush area with a spokesperson to explain the characteristics of plant species and their niche in the natural environment.

·Collect some tree seeds, germinate them in a classroom, and plant out the seedling.

·Carry out identification of trees in a specific part of your school or neighbourhood. A tree labelling ceremony could also be arranged.

·Compile a list of everyday objects that are made of wood or wood-based materials, and find out how the wood was processed, where it came from and whatever else you can.

Trees and shrubs, whether native or introduced to WA, provide opportunities for the interest and study by the whole community, and when we walk around our own neighbourhood or drive through the countryside, we can appreciate the importance of such a diversity of plants to the well being of humanity.
