3.12 is a special day to create a green environment, look forward to green water and green mountains, and call for people to care for the environment - arbor day. In February 1979, the sixth session of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress decided to designate March 12 as China's tree planting day. In December 1981, the fourth session of the Fifth National People's Congress passed the resolution on carrying out the national compulsory tree planting campaign. The State Council promulgated the specific implementation methods of the national compulsory tree planting campaign the following year. Before and after the arbor day, all parts of the country should focus on afforestation activities.
