Many countries now observe a similar holiday. Though usually observed in the spring, the date varies, depending on climate and suitable planting season。 植物節是個人或是團隊一起種植和關愛樹木的節目。許多國傢都慶祝植樹節,不過雖然都是在春天,但根據天氣和合適植樹的時間不同,植樹節的具體日期也有不同。 近代最早設立植樹節的是美國的內佈拉斯加州。1872年4月10日,莫頓在內佈拉斯加州園林協會舉行的一次會議上,提出瞭設立重視節的建議。該州采納瞭莫頓的建議,把4月10日定為該州的植樹節,並於1932年發行世界上首枚植樹節郵票。 中國的植樹節定於3月12日。1979年2月,中國第五屆全國人大常委會第六次會議決定,將每年的3月12日定為中國的植樹節。1981年12月,五屆全國人大四次會議又通過瞭《關於開展全民義務植樹運動的決議》,國務院於次年頒佈瞭全民義務植樹運動的具體實施辦法。植樹節前後,我國各地都要集中進行植樹造林活動。 植樹節的來歷 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. 植樹節的重要意義 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. 植樹節活動方案 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. Happy Arbor Day! |
