“PUBLIC TREE-PLANTING DAY” TO BE HELD ON VICTORY DAY

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ “National Public Tree-Planting Day” is going to be celebrated on May 9, in accordance with the Presidential decree issued in 2010 directing to mark the Day on Saturday of second week of every May and October. The Ministry of Environment, Green Development and Tourism has set a goal to plant one million trees in 2015. This year’s tree-planting day coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. In order to responsibly take care of the trees, the Ministry resolved launching a work to issue code for every tree that had been planted and submit them to an online registration system. The system will keep record of investors of the tree-planting, planters, caretakers, and utilized gardening materials. The first codes will be given to 70 black alder trees to be planted Saturday by the staff of the President’s Office.
