Wattle Day Association Inc
The Wattle Day Association Inc is an Australian nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting National Wattle Day, observed annually on 1 September. Established in 1998, the Association aims to raise nationwide awareness of Wattle Day as a celebration of Australia, its people, and its national floral emblem, the golden wattle (Acacia pycnantha).
Purpose and Activities
The Wattle Day Association has three primary objectives:
- To increase public knowledge and appreciation of National Wattle Day.
- To celebrate Australian identity and community through the symbolic use of the wattle flower.
- To provide accurate information about the golden wattle, Australia's national floral emblem.
The Association organizes events and campaigns that encourage Australians to participate in Wattle Day celebrations, fostering a sense of national pride and connection to Australia's natural heritage. Its outreach includes educational efforts targeted at all age groups, including children, adults, and seniors, as well as families and environmental communities[1][2][4].
Historical Context
Though the current Association was formed in 1998, the concept of Wattle Day has a longer history dating back to the early 20th century. The original Wattle Day League was established in 1909 with the goal of unifying various state efforts into a national celebration. The League chose 1 September 1910 as the date for Wattle Day, marking the beginning of organized celebrations across multiple Australian states. The day was characterized by widespread displays of the wattle flower and civic participation, symbolizing Australian unity and identity[5].
Significance
Wattle Day serves as an annual occasion to honor Australia's unique flora and the cultural values associated with the golden wattle. The Wattle Day Association's work ensures that the significance of this emblem and its celebrations remain prominent in Australian life. Their efforts contribute to environmental awareness, national pride, and community cohesion.
The Wattle Day Association Inc continues to be the key organization responsible for maintaining and promoting the legacy of Wattle Day across Australia.
