Arbor week in South
Africa: 1-7 September
From the Dept of Water
Affairs website:
“Arbor
Day originated in 1872 in the United States territory of Nebraska. Mr J
Sterling Morton, a newcomer to the treeless plains of Nebraska, was a keen
proponent of the beauty and benefit of trees. He persuaded the local
agricultural board to set aside a day for planting trees and through his
position as editor of Nebraska's first newspaper, encouraged participation in
the event by publishing articles on the value of trees for soil protection, fruit
and shade and building. Mr. Morton's home, known as Arbor Lodge, was a
testament to his love for trees and so inspired the name of the holiday; Arbor
Day.
In
South Africa, Arbor Day was first celebrated in 1983. The event captured the
imagination of people who recognized the need for raising awareness of the
value of trees in our society. As sources of building material, food, medicine,
and simple scenic beauty, trees play a vital role in the health and well-being
of our communities. Collective enthusiasm for the importance of this issue in
South Africa inspired the national government, in 1999, to extend the
celebration of Arbor Day to National Arbor Week. From 1 to 7 September every
year, schools, businesses and organizations are encouraged to participate in
community "greening" events to improve the health and beauty of the
local environment and propose a green future for South Africa.”
In celebration of Arbor Week we highlight some of the environmental law books and articles available in the UJ Law Library as well as alert you to a few new titles available in this area of law.
