MORE GREENERY FOR SAI KUNG DISTRICT
****
FORTY EVERGREEN TREES WERE PLANTED TODAY (FRIDAY) AT AN OPEN SPACE NEAR THE CHENG CHEK CHEE SECONDARY SCHOOL IN SAI KUNG.
THE TREES, INCLUDING HIBISCUS TILIACEUS, ALEURITES MOLUCCANA AND BAUHINIA VARIEGATA, WERE PLANTED BY 60 STUDENTS FROM THE CHENG CHEK CHEE SECONDARY SCHOOL AND KWONG PUI SCHOOL AND MEMBERS OF BOTH THE SAI KUNG RURAL COMMITTEE AND HANG HAU RURAL COMMITTEE.
THE EVENT WAS ORGANISED BY THE SAI KUNG URBAN SERVICES OFFICE OF THE NEW TERRITORIES SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
+ IT IS IMPORTANT THAT MORE TREES SHOULD BE PLANTED AS THE CONSTRUCTION AND WIDENING OF ROADS IN SAI KUNG WHICH IS IN PROCESS HAS BROUGHT A FACELIFT TO THE DISTRICT, SAID THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR (SOUTH REGION) OF THE NEW TERRITORIES SERVICES, MR JAMES WILSON WHO OFFICIATED AT A CEREMONY MARKING THE TREE PLANTING.
MR WILSON SAID THE SUCCESS OF THE TREE PLANTING PROGRAMME WOULD VERY MUCH DEPEND ON THE CO-OPERATION AND ASSISTANCE OF LOCAL RESIDENTS, WITHOUT THE IR SUPPORT, THE TREES PLANTED HERE TODAY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GROW WELL AND MATURE, HE SAID.
PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE RURAL LEADERS AND THE STUDENTS SPONSORING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE EVENT, MR WILSON URGED THEM AND THE PUBLIC TO KEEP AN INTEREST IN THE LOVE AND CARE OF TREES.
TO HIGHLIGHT THE EVENT, MR WILSON PLANTED A YOUNG HIBISCUS TILIACEUS AT THE OPEN SPACE OF THE ACCESS ROAD LEADING TO THE CHENG CHEK CHEE SECONDARY SCHOOL.
THE DISTRICT OFFICER OF SAI KUNG, MR CHAN SUI-JEUNG THE URBAN SERVICES OFFICER OF SAI KUNG, MR LOK SHIU-CHUN, THE CHAIRMAN OF SAI KUNG RURAL COMMITTEE, MR CHÚNG PUN AND THE CHAIRMAN OF HANG HAU RURAL COMMITTEE, ALSO PLANTED YOUNG TREES TO MARK THE CEREMONY.
