National Love A Tree Day 2023: History, significance and facts

National Love A Tree Day is observed annually on May 16, in the midst of National Garden for Wildlife Month. Did you know that trees did not exist for 90 per cent of Earth’s history? Isn’t it surprising? Before trees, 26-foot-tall fungi resembling trees existed on Earth. While the search for the origins of this day continues, the least we can do is to show our appreciation for the indispensable contribution trees have made to the health of our environment.
