Perak to plant 100,000 trees this year
IPOH: The Perak Government is helping to “green” the state by planting 100,000 trees by the end of this year, said state Local Government Committee chairman Nga Kor Ming.
He said efforts to identify suitable species and work out the cost were already in progress, adding that local councils have been directed to embark on the exercise.
“We are particularly in favour of the raintree, like the ones surrounding the Taiping Lake Garden, as we find it most suitable for the creation of green canopies.
“We want to encourage people to walk and if it is not hot, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind,” he told reporters after attending an environmental seminar held in conjunction with World Environment Day yesterday.
In the city here, trees would be planted at suitable locations to prevent them from becoming a concrete jungle and to reduce greenhouse effect, he said.
Nga, who noted that the effort was also in line with the national mission to plant 20 million trees by 2020, assured the people that all trees would be bought at market price.
He said that all local government departments in the state would adopt the 80 ways of celebrating the environment as recommended by the United Nations Environment Programme.
The 3R approach to reduce, reuse and recycle would also be extended to the whole of Perak, he added.
