Under motto "We Are Planting Today - Writing and Sending a Letter of Peace", 5,7 million seedlings will be planted within autumn campaign "Tree Day - Plant Your Future!", held throughout Macedonia on Wednesday.

The eighth such campaign includes planting near populated places, natural and artificial lakes, national parks, regional and local roads.

The main event of the campaign is "Letter of Love, Respect and Friendship - Plant Peace, Friendship and Love".

The letter contains a clear message that by planting the future with our own hands, we say that not only trees are planted, but also friendship, good neighborly relations, tolerance and mutual respect.

"The letter is a call for mass unity, planting the future for ourselves and the world. The letter is a strong message that we will not allow for our name to be taken away and would not allow such injustice to be brought upon anyone", say the campaign organizers.

Citizens will be able to sign in support of the letter, whereas the signatures are to be forwarded to the United Nations and the European Commission following the campaign.

For the purpose of mass participation in the campaign, the Government has declared Wednesday a non-working day, which will be compensated on Saturday.

The 8. "Tree Day" campaign is held in the spirit of global event "International Year of Forests 2011", declared by the United Nations.

Thirty-eight million seedlings have been planted in the course of the past seven campaigns since 2008.
