Tree-Planting Day cultivates hope for a greener future

March 12 marks China’s 47th Arbor Day, or Tree-Planting Day, a time to embrace nature and sow hope for a greener future. Across the country, from the vast forests of the northeast to the rolling hills of the south, the Arbor Day spirit is in full bloom. As new trees take root, they strengthen our planet’s ecological foundation, helping to combat desertification and improve air quality.
