JEC held a Tree Planting Volunteering Day on 16 July 2022 to celebrate the 190th anniversary of Jardines.
35 volunteers from JEC, including their families and friends joined the activity to contribute to the sustainable development of forest in Hong Kong. Before tree planting began, volunteers learned about the background of the ongoing tree restoration project, the value of native trees and how the project can help with Hong Kong’s biodiversity. With the professional guidance, the team planted 70 saplings in different native species on the northern slope of Tai Mo Shan.
The ongoing tree restoration experiment project in Hong Kong aims to rebuild the secondary forest on the hill slopes that have been destroyed by farming and human activities over the past decades and increase the biodiversity of the forest in Hong Kong. The tree planting activity demonstrated JEC’s commitment towards environment conservation.
