Greening initiative sees 31m trees planted in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province
RIYADH: More than 31 million trees have been planted in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province as part of a nationwide afforestation project, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday. The trees were planted by the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification, working with 51 other entities, under a program launched in November.
