National Tree Day is observed in Mexico every second Thursday of July. This ecological observance was officially established in 1959 by then-President Adolfo López Mateos to promote the importance of environmental protection and the value of natural resources. The day encourages citizens to participate in activities focused on afforestation and environmental improvement. The Mexican government and local authorities actively promote this celebration, emphasizing the significance of planting trees as a means to enhance the environmental situation. Since its inception, National Tree Day has become an annual event aimed at fostering a collective responsibility towards nature.
