Free saplings will be distributed in Paphos on Friday to mark the annual Tree Festival and promote environmental awareness in the community, the forestry department has announced.
The festival is scheduled to take place on Friday at 10am at the Stroumbi Primary School. As part of the festivities, free saplings will be provided to the public at the venue of the event and at the three other locations in the Paphos district.
The saplings will also be distributed at the “Pervola” parking lot and at the parking lot of the former Paphos police headquarter offices as well as at the central square in Polis Chrysochous between the hours of 9am and 2pm.
Meanwhile, Larnaca is set to enrich its parks with more trees next month as February has been established as the month of tree planting for the city. Efforts are underway to create and enrich existing green spaces and parks.
Four hundred trees will be planted in 12 parks and island crossings.
The municipality said it was also open to proposals from non-profit organisations, Individuals, and businesses for the improvement of main roads and other points in the city.
“The goal is to transform them into pleasant routes, green lungs, all while considering social sensitivity and contribution to the city of Larnaca,” the municipality said in an official announcement.
