The Capital Development Authority (CDA) would plant 800,000 saplings in the federal capital during the spring tree plantation campaign.
The spring tree plantation campaign would start on March 7 at Fatima Jinnah Park F-9.
Talking to APP, CDA Member Environment Sanaullah Aman said that civic body would plant different species of trees, flowers and shrubs at avenues, entrance and exit points of the city with the collaboration of PTCL, universities and NGOs.
He said that due to the plantation in the capital, the greenery of the city would increase and atmosphere of the Islamabad will also be pleasant.
He told that during the current spring tree plantation drive of the authority, different species of flowering and fruit plants would be planted.
However, post-tree plantation monitoring is crucial for increasing the survival rate of the planted saplings so that these plants could grow properly.
