Tree Fair Held in Mymensingh

Hasan Mahmud, Memensingh, 05 April: A month-long tree fair has begun at Mymensingh Stadium recently with the slogan "Plant trees, save the environment." It has been jointly organized by the local administration and the Department of Social Forestation. The tree fair was inaugurated yesterday by the local Member of Parliament. It was also addressed by some other renowned speakers, who underscored the need for planting more trees including fruit and medicinal plants for maintaining ecological balance as well as achieving economic solvency.

The chief guest in his speech stressed the need for planting trees in large number so that we can save our environment from the after-effects of climate change and natural disasters. A huge procession paraded the streets of the town after the inaugural ceremony. Various government and non-government organisations and private nursery owners have set up about 100 stalls displaying saplings of over 150 varieties including fruit, wood, and medicinal trees on. Cultural functions are being arranged at every night to inspire people to plant trees on the banks of the ponds, canals, beside the roads and court yards.

In fact, it is a wonderful tree fair that is inspiring the people to plant trees more and more. The participants are also inspired to see the eagerness of the people to plant trees.
