The SeaTown team came together to participate in the One Million Trees movement by National Parks Board (NParks). We spent the morning planting trees at Pulau Ubin – one of the 12 designated sites for the movement.
The One Million Trees movement is an initiative by NParks to plant one million more trees across Singapore with the community by #2030. This is part of their efforts to transform Singapore into a City in Nature, which is a key pillar under the Singapore Green Plan 2030.
To date, NParks has planted >600,000 trees across Singapore. To learn more about the movement, click here About the Movement (nparks.gov.sg).
We are proud to have played an active role in the greening of Singapore, under the Plant-A-Tree fundraiser programme, to which we donated to the costs of young trees and planted them ourselves. We look forward to more opportunities to contribute to this meaningful cause.
