Under Mission Green Pakistan campaign, individuals, children, youth groups, non-governmental organizations, educational institutions, business and industry, civil society and government departments are encouraged to plant trees to make Pakistan truly a green and clean country.
Planting trees is a Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and its reward continues even after the death of the person who plants a tree.
“He who plants a tree loves others beside himself.”
“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”
Native trees are species that have colonized the landscape of a region by natural processes and by going through a number of climatic changes that occurred over many thousand years. These native trees have adapted themselves to the local conditions and have become part of the ecosystem of the region..
