What is the best thing to do during the green rain?

I had it the first time now and there is so many to discover and every place is full with wild trees and weeds but what is the best thing to do during the green rain?
Do the wild trees bring more wood than normal? What do you do during this day?

The best thing to do is scythe all the Weeds as you'll need those Fiber drops and Moss for other uses later in the game. I ignore everything else that day and just concentrate on getting as much Fiber and Moss as possible. The Moss will grow back slowly on all Trees over time so you can continue harvesting all year but this is your easiest chance to stock up on Fiber for it's various uses.

Also the Green Rain Tree with the twirly top drops Fiddlehead Ferns if you chop it down, but unless you really need these gathering Fiber and Moss are a better use of your time that day.

I go around shaking them and cutting them down and hope I get a seed for myself - it's time to populate my whole farm with 'em Green Rain Trees - they are absolutely beautiful
Yes I also find the trees beautiful and somehow mysterious. I got some seeds and already planted them but it was difficult because I started a new game and my axe is still not so good. In my other games it will be more simple to cut the trees down. Thank you for the answer! 😊

I tried to collect as much weed and moss as I could and because my axe still is not so good it was difficult to cut trees down. I started a new game because I wanted to play it from the beginning and was unsure if I really need the moss. Thank you for your advice! 😊

For the first green rain, I like to prioritize talking to people, because their dialog options are all so interesting!

And also collect resources and stuff like that. But mostly talk.

That was my problem. 😁 I find the dialogs so interesting and charming but I also wanted to collect fibers, wild tree saplings and moss. It was a bit stressful. 😅

Eat luck buff stuff and go cut all grass. Living hat eventually drops; green rain special weeds, also have a chance to yield it!

Or stock up on timber. After the rain is over, many normal trees appear, next morning come! Green rain wood farming is so effective, that for me completely eliminated the need to buy wood from Robin, for all my needs.

Oh wow I gotta try this the next time this comes around! I must admit when I first saw it, I just pause for like one full in game hour just to admire and appreciate the beauty lol. I really love how CA used shades/shadows to full advantage this update around - both this and the Volcano Dungeon felt so mysterious because of that! It is one of the first thing I immediately noticed when I first started this game. At the time, it was the shading when nighttime comes along; it was immediately reminiscent of my time walking at night at a rural farm with 0 light pollution but also 0 light sources, complete darkness, and it was absolutely nostalgic and dear to me what CA did with it!
 
I just ran around crazy staring at everything. I did cut a lot of fiber and moss, got a few mossy tree seeds, lots of mixed seeds and mixed flower seeds. The weird trees are propagating themselves on my farm now. Trees everywhere have lots of moss, I now have over 500 moss. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with all this moss but I keep collecting it!
