Arbor Day (Day of Trees)

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 Years 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. THE IMPORTANCE OF ARBOR DAY On Arbor Day, particular attention is drawn to the part trees play in our lives. Its 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. 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 landowners 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. ·Carry out identification of trees in a specific part of your school or neighbourhood. A tree labelling ceremony could also be arranged. ·Compile a list of everyday objects that are made of wood or wood-based materials, and find out how the wood was processed, where it came from and whatever else you can. Trees and shrubs, whether native or introduced to WA, provide opportunities for the interest and study by the whole community, and when we walk around our own neighbourhood or drive through the countryside, we can appreciate the importance of such a diversity of plants to the well being of humanity. 相关文章 口语Festival素材:St. Patricks Day（圣帕特里克节） 口语Festival素材:April Fools Day（愚人节） 口语Festival素材:Arbor Day（植树节） 口语Festival素材:Easter Day（复活节） 口语Festival素材:Earth Day（世界地球日） 澳大利亚华人论坛 考好网 日本华人论坛 华人移民留学论坛 英国华人论坛 新版网站调整中，如需联系我们，请Email: evisa2011#gmail.com (#换@） ---- Copyright © 2000-2020.百考试题网 100Test.Com
