Tree planting in Azerbaijan

We traditionally celebrate Novruz holiday on the 21 March taking care of our environment. For now above 1 million trees (fir-trees and pines) have been planted in various parts-regions of Azerbaijan. Over 100 000 trees have been planted in the Capital of Azerbaijan- Baku.

The process is going on as it's the best time for planting trees and bushes here. There are 65 administrative regions in my country and each region has recieved 60 thousand trees to plant.So it's a huge number and we hope that all the trees will grow well.

Now, on the whole Republic of Azerbaijan over half a million trees have been planted up today. The event is carried out by the foundation of President Heydar Aliyev. The foundation sends seedlings , trees and bushes to every corner of the Republic. A group of our school children went to the remote Guba region and planted trees in the area of summer camp for children. These students are to come back after finishing school and visit it . Each graduate of the Modern Educational Complex is to continue planting trees tradition each year.


Kindest regards
