Al-Ahsa Governor Prince Saud bin Talal bin Badr inaugurated a SR3 million ($800,000) initiative on Wednesday to plant 100,000 trees across the governorate, a move designed to expand green spaces, increase vegetation cover, and advance environmental sustainability.
The project is a collaborative effort involving the Al-Ahsa Development Authority and Tanmiah Food Co., with backing from the Environment Fund and the Al-Ahsa Municipality. Officials said the drive reflects a broader strategy to enhance the urban landscape, foster environmental awareness, and strengthen community partnerships in pursuit of sustainable development.
In a parallel effort, Jazan Technical College, together with the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification, launched a volunteer program to plant 1,000 saplings, including neem trees, bougainvillea, and roses. College Dean Mohammed Salili stated the initiative aims to cultivate environmental responsibility, build ties with national entities, encourage volunteerism, and promote sustainable practices through a blend of education and hands-on fieldwork.
