The tree planting event was successfully held at Tai Lam Country Park on 21 April. Mr. Kenichi OKADA, Consul General (Ambassador) of the Consulate General of Japan in Hong Kong was invited cordially to attend the event. Totally 85 enthusiastic AEON employees, their children and volunteers together planted 400 native saplings, contributing to the greening of Hong Kong and conservation of the local ecological environment.
On the day of the event, participants have been distributed plating tools while proceeded to tree planting site. And carefully planted saplings in the soil in designated zones, taking seriously the opportunity to plant trees with their own hands. We wish all the saplings will be able to thrive and become a forest, so as to pass on precious natural resources to the next generation.
