Trees in every shape and size support our environment, our life is reliant on trees.
Why I personally love Tree Planting Day, it is one day of the year a thought goes out to future generations, Roots for Tomorrow morally we are required to preserve forests to ensure clean water, let's get dirty Arbor day has more meaning than is talked about.
Affording shade for undergrowth to flourish, deeply wooded areas are an attraction, each shaded area offering a variety of life beneath. Some trees reach for the skies, others develop into umbrella tops affording a forest great variety, an abundance of life.
Whilst competing for light, by design alone trees perform many different functions, we favour them for fruits, berries, medicinal properties. Nature requires them to keep soil healthy, rain drips through leaves dispersing evenly below affording everything some water.
Roots hold the earth together avoiding soil erosion, trees planted near to homes, quietly do their part in the eco-system keeping areas cooler, dropping leaves back down to the earth to re-nourish soil beneath, inviting wildlife back into a garden.
Preserving water quality in streams and ponds.
South Africa is not a heavily wooded area, forested areas are scarce much like water, making everyone more aware of how important tree planting is.
Wildlife attracts visitors to our country allowing more of our youth become employed into the tourist sector, be sure not to miss out this year, ask locally find where trees are being planted, join South African's getting up to the elbows in soil.
Arbor day may not be a public holiday in every country, many countries observe a day when everyone congregates to ensure the future generations will have sustainable living. Trees teach us we may be different in many ways, we need to work together planting new roots, nurturing low hanging fruits.

Such a good reminder as to why trees are so important. Always fascinating to plant one and over the years watch it grow. I still remember when we planted a Maple many years ago at my family home. It's always amazing going back and seeing it taller each year.
Next week is Arbor week @jusipassetti start planning with the children what lovely tree they would like to help grow in the back garden!

It used to be a Public Holiday, planning went into where trees would be planted, everyone joined in @jaynie
Now they have changed it to a week, not so much mentioned, schools used to have each class in the school decide and vote on which trees to plant and why, it was more educational, then on the day the children helped, up to the elbows in sand team work!
A lot of people don't know the importance of trees to man, and I think schools should emphasize more on it so many people should keep planting them
Schools used to play a big part in tree planting day, not so sure whether they do this anymore @airsoftman
Deforestation is a bad thing, and should be highly discouraged. I support you on this, planting trees are very important to our environment and our health. @kyptonia ID @blogjeremiah
We had fun growing up, measuring ourselves against the trees, later years we enjoyed the fruits of our labour, most trees we planted were for fruit @blogjeremiah
The more trees we have the better the environment since they eat CO2 and put out Oxygen. Deforestation is also a big problem in South America.

Ripping down everything for personal gain is so negative on man and nature @deathlyhorror
It's so true what you tell us about trees, they are the most important thing to us. I really enjoy plating everything that I can, It's a pleasure to see how a plant grow up! Thanks for sharing your post and your @kryptonia task, my kryptonia ID is the next: acosta

It will never be enough what is done by nature, we owe it to her. The trees give us shade and sustenance and protect the amount of life. It is amazing that we have to campaign so that they do not deforest and care for them, but the human being has been unaware of the damage he has done. Good post. Task of kryptonia ID charjaim
Thank you for visiting from Venezuela keep supporting awareness of trees @charjaim
What a beautiful article, we must conserve the trees, the life of us and of the animals depends on it, where I live there are many trees and for me they are a blessing, greetings from Kryptonia ID Mariale

Trees are synonymous with life.

I'm a little skeptical about any declared Days of anything (a Day without smoking or a Day without a car, etc.)
But, perhaps, it draw attention to problems.
Nature and animals @eto-ka I do support, dispossessing stupid man made rules I ignore wherever possible.
Great principle!
Excellent entry Joan, and what a fantastic day to have, I certainly wish we had more people in the UK pro-actively planting trees and providing much needed sanctuaries for our wildlife and birds.
Tree planting has always included adults and children, a wonderful way to ensure a future in nature @socialmediaseo
@joanstewart,
I'm glad to see someone is making an effort for this very worthy cause. Talk is cheap. We need more action ... and that requires actors.
Quill
In our region days are dedicated to planting trees, cleaning beaches a lot more action in recent years, I think people are beginning to realize just how important nature is @quillfire

Thanks for sharing, I really love planting trees, I have a very small garden, but it is full of vegetation, greetings from Mexico
No matter how small a garden is, wise use comes into the equation @saulos
Enjoy your Arbor Day starting this Saturday. I think we also need such a day in Czech Republic, nice idea.
