Arbor Day in South Korea (식목일, Sikmogil)

  • Date: April 5
  • History: Arbor Day was first celebrated in South Korea on April 5, 1949, with the intention of encouraging tree planting and raising awareness about the importance of forests and the environment.
  • Governmental Role: The South Korean government has historically taken an active role in promoting Arbor Day. It has often provided trees for planting and organized events to engage citizens and communities.

Traditions and Activities:

  • Tree Planting: Individuals, families, schools, and various organizations participate in tree-planting activities across the country. This serves to beautify environments as well as to contribute to reforestation efforts.
  • Educational Programs: Schools may hold special classes or activities focused on environmental education, teaching students about the significance of trees for ecosystems and human life.
  • Community Involvement: Local governments and community groups often organize public events such as planting trees in parks, along streets, or on mountainsides.

Current Status: While Arbor Day was a public holiday up until 2005, it is no longer a non-working day. However, many people still participate in tree planting and other environmental activities as part of a continued commitment to forestation efforts.
