Arbor Day is a legally mandated day to promote tree protection and mobilize the public to actively participate in afforestation activities. It aims to inspire people’s enthusiasm for forestry and raise awareness of the importance of environmental protection.
According to the United Nations, more than 50 countries worldwide now observe Arbor Day. Due to differences in national conditions and geographical locations, the names and dates of Arbor Day vary from country to country. For example, Myanmar calls it “Tree Planting Month,” Iceland calls it “Student Tree Planting Day,” India calls it “National Tree Planting Day,” France calls it “National Tree Day,” and Canada calls it “Forest Week,” etc.
