TREE PLANTING DAY ***
THE SUCCESS OF THE BEAUTIFICATION SCHEME OF THE CLEAN HONG KONG CAMPAIGN WILL VERY MUCH DEPEND ON THE DEGREE OF INVOLVEMENT AND CO-OPERATION FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
THIS WAS STATED TODAY BY THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF URBAN SERVICES, MR JIMMY SWEETMAN AT A CEREMONY TO MARK THE LAUNCHING OF THE SAI KUNG DISTRICT TREE PLANTING DAY AT CLEAR WATER BAY BEACH CARPARK.
HE SAID THE TREES PLANTED THERE TODAY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GROW WELL AND MATURE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE PUBLIC.
COMMENTING ON THE PARTICIPATION OF STUDENTS AND LOCAL DIGNITARIES WHO PLANTED SOME 100 EVERGREEN TREES AT THE NEWLY BUILT CARPARK NEAR THE BEACH, MR SWEETMAN SAID HE WAS CONFIDENT THAT THE NATURAL BEAUTY WILL BE ENHANCED WHEN THE TREES GROW MATURE IN THE YEARS AHEAD.
THE DISTRICT-WIDE TREE PLANTING EXERCISE, JOINTLY ORGANISED BY THE SAI KUNG RURAL COMMITTEE, HANG HAU RURAL COMMITTEE AND THE NEW TERRITORIES SERVICES DEPARTMENT, IS AIMED AT PROMOTING PUBLIC INTEREST IN GROWING TREES.
MR SWEETMAN PLANTED A YOUNG TREE AT THE CARPARK TO HIGHLIGHT THE EVENT.
ALSO TAKING PART IN THE EVENT WERE THE DISTRICT OFFICER OF SAI KUNG, MR CHAN SUI-JEUNG, THE CHAIRMAN OF SAI KUNG RURAL COMMITTEE, MR CHUNG PUN, THE CHAIRMAN OF HANG HAU RURAL COMMITTEE, MR YAU KEĺ, AND THE URBAN SERVICES OFFICER OF SAI KUNG, MR LAM CHUNG-HUEN.
