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 at 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', 'ening 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.
植樹節的意義英文版2Arbor Day is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees.
In the 1840s, the midwestern state of Nebraska was a territory within a wide prairie. When pioneers moved to settle there, they found few trees to build houses or to burn for fuel. There was no shade from the sun or wind, and crops did not grow well in the dry earth.
J. Sterling Morton was one of those pioneers. He and his wife planted trees immediately after moving from their hometown. Morton was a journalist, and later the editor, for Nebraska’s first newspaper. In his writings he advocated planting trees to help life on this vast barren prairie.
Morton suggested that citizens of the new state of Nebraska set aside April 10 as a day to plant trees at a meeting in January 1872. Everyone welcomed the idea. Nebraskans planted about one million trees on that first Arbor Day.
In 1882, Nebraska declared its own Arbor Day as a legal holiday and the date was changed to Morton’s birthday, April 22. Today almost every state celebrates Arbor Day. But because the best tree-planting season changes from region to region, some states celebrate the day on different dates. Hawaiians, for example, plant Arbor Day trees on the first Friday in November!And China plant Arbor Day trees on March 12th every year.
