World Forest Day is celebrated every year on March 21 - the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumn Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.

The idea of World Forestry Day is to promote awareness about the importance of the world's forests and the important role they play in the life of the planet. Did you know that trees cover over 30 percent of the land area of Earth?

World Forestry Day is a time to take a moment to celebrate and appreciate our forests and trees.

American Forests, an tree-conservation, has a very interesting website full of facts about forests and trees you might enjoy.
