All present commented that despite the hard work involved they were all pleased to have been able to contribute a little something to our Country’s environmental future.
Vice Chairperson, Philip Lloyd, said that ‘After the disappointment of having to postpone the tree planting at the start of the year due to the extreme bad weather, he was pleased that today’s tree planting was such a success, enjoyed by everyone who took part and enabled those in particular who planted a tree for a departed loved one to do so on such a lovely day in such peaceful surroundings’.
He also thanked the Forestry Department for their help and assistance in helping to Plant a Tree – start a forest!
After the planting ATA members who took part in the tree planting were joined by other ATA members for a Social (lunchtime) Gathering at the Bağ Restaurant in Lefkoşa.
