Planting trees(Volunteer)







Today is March 12th----the Arbor Day, it’s an important day in spring, In many countries it has long been the tradition to hold an annual tree or forest festival. The Arbor Day is a global festival for everyone in the world. At this time, millions of people will plant their own trees for the Earth
I also joined the group to plant trees, after one hour, we arrived at the hill at eight o'clock .the guide told us many important messages about planting trees. The conventional steps are: First, Digging. We should dig vertically downward along the tree pool excavation, it is necessary to maintain the upper and lower vertical, size consistent, the tree pit should be greater than the size of root ball to ensure that tree roots stretch, if the hard soil around the tree pit, it should be greater. Second, we need to clean up in the earth fill the stone and trash, puts in the seedling has dug in the good tree pit, straightens up, earth fill, after filling in buries half earth, the seedling slightly upwardly raises, like this may guarantee under the tree root complete dynasty, but must step on unceasingly the earth the reality, do not let in the earth leave leeway the air. Third, after transplanting, gives the trees immediately the pouring water percolation, pours into slowly in the tree root spot the water, until water from soil surfaced road flood. This is very important one step, because the seedling from places transplant processes such as the plant nursery its hair root will encounter some damages inevitably, will be bad to the moisture content absorbency, the full watering can guarantee the seedling survive (each tree probably two barrels water). After that, I rushed to the top of the mountain and start working, it is not a easy work but we all work very hard that we could finish our tasks ahead of time .The trees we planted small to us in the soft spring wind. We all feel very happy.
