Costa Rica didn't stay aside and then-President of Costa Rica Alfredo Gonzalez established Arbor Day on May 25, 1915. Since then all adults and school children annually plant trees to recover the parks and forests.
Many environmental organizations of Costa Rica organize long-running projects to observe Arbor Day. These projects are aimed at replanting trees in different places around Costa Rica. Many of the parks were seriously affected and they can't provide shelter for birds, animals and insects. Replacing sick trees and planting native trees help restore natural biodiversity.
