Forest Workers' Day
September 20 · Level 7 · #715 of 2238
This professional holiday honours foresters, forest managers, forest firefighters and everyone who protects and restores woodland. In Russia it falls on the third Sunday of September.
How it is celebrated: people plant young trees, join guided walks and lessons about the forest, and the best workers receive awards at festive meetings.
Russia holds roughly a fifth of all the forests on Earth, so the foresters' care stretches across enormous territory.
