Idlib-Sana
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the tree, the Directorate of Agriculture in Idlib carried out a afforestation campaign in the Khan Sheikhoun hill in the countryside of the governorate liberated from terrorism under the slogan (the tree is the lung of life), by planting 3000 forest plants on an area of 33 dunums.
The Director of Agriculture, Muhammad Nour Tako, said in a statement to SANA reporter that the site of the afforestation campaign was green meadows that were burned and attacked by terrorists during their presence in the area during the past years, and the afforestation campaign aims to restore it to its previous era as a dense forest site with various types of trees.
The head of the Farmers Union branch in Idlib, Khaled Al-Daher, indicated that the afforestation campaigns contribute to preserving the vegetation cover of the Idlib governorate and expanding its area always.
The governor of Idlib, Thaer Salhab, members of the Executive Office, members of the leadership of the Arab Socialist Baath Party branch, heads of popular organizations, directors of government agencies and volunteers from the two branches of the Union of Youth and Al-Tala’a participated in the campaign.
