Honduras observed National Tree Day on May 30th, 2025, celebrating the pine tree (Pinus oocarpa), a cherished national symbol. Across the nation, public and private organizations participated in reforestation initiatives.
These efforts highlight Honduras' dedication to environmental preservation. Educational programs in schools and community tree-planting events emphasized the critical role of trees in sustaining life and maintaining ecological balance. The pine tree was designated as the national tree due to its prevalence in Honduran forests.
The celebrations included awareness campaigns by the government and private sector to promote the preservation of pine forests as vital sources of water and habitats. The Pinus oocarpa, also known as ocote chino, was officially designated as the National Tree of Honduras on May 14, 1928.
