OK, Darlings, you may be thinking, HELLO? Arbor Day was April 30th in America!......BUT..........
while I was researching something totally unrelated, I came across the fact that July 28 is National Tree Planting Day for schools throughout Australia and July 30 is National Tree Planting Day for the rest of the Nation.
In the Central African Republic National Tree Planting Day is on July 22.
In Mexico National Tree Day is on the 2nd Thursday of July.
New Zealand's first Arbor Day planting was in Greytown in the Wairarapa on July 3, 1890. The first official celebration took place in Wellington in August 1892, with the planting of pohutukawa* and Norfolk pines along Thorndon Esplanade.
I didn't realize how many "tree days" there are all over the world! We hear so much every day about the damage mankind is inflicting on the Earth it's nice to hear about one of the things people are doing to replenish it!
