MORE TREES TO BE PLANTED THROUGHOUT HONG KONG
Tree-planting time is here again. And this year the programe is
bigger and support greater.
Tomorrow (Sunday), more than 60 young people from the Conservancy
Club of the Diocesan Girls' School and St. Claire's College will take part
in a ceremony marking another Urban Council tree-planting year.
More than 200 trees will be planted on that day, to be followed by
the planting of thousands more during the year.
Ten thousand saplings were purchased from China recently and are
expected to arrive in Hong Kong this month.
An Urban Council spokesman said that the trees from China would
help boost greatly the current Urban Council drive to make Hong Kong a
greener and prettier place.
He said other tree-planting ceremonies would be planned, and it
was hoped that more young people would take part so that a greater appreciation
of the environment might be developed among the young.
Note to Editors:
You are invited to send a reporter
and/or photographer to cover the ceremony at the Lo Fu Ngam Park on Sunday (June 3). The
ceremony will start at 10 a.m. and will continue
throughout the day.
