Hong Kong Housing Authority and Housing Department

The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) has been striving to support environmental protection and encourage staff participation in green activities. Together with about 600 members of the People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison and 350 participants from various organisations, about 100 HA staff and their family members joined the Hong Kong Tree Planting Day on 12 April.

The annual event aims to disseminate the green messages and to boost public awareness of environmental protection and hill fire prevention. Around 8 000 saplings, including liquidambar formosana, polyspora axillaris, castanopsis fissa, rhaphiolepis indica, eurya chinensis, were planted at Tai Shu Ha Road West in Tai Tong of Yuen Long this year.
