The noble principles of the Honorable President to turn our country into a blooming garden and enhance the beauty of our wonderful nature find wide support among our happy compatriots.
The signing of the Decree by the Head of State at the regular meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on March 13 of this year to hold a nationwide tree-planting campaign in Turkmenistan—aimed at environmental protection, ensuring ecological well-being, and transforming the country into a garden—is proof of the large-scale and systematic work carried out at the state level in this direction.
The great initiatives of the Hero-Arkadag and the Honorable President for the benefit of the country and the people are received and implemented with high patriotic feelings in the eastern region of our country as well. As in all parts of our independent Motherland, thousands of fruit, coniferous, shade-providing, and grape trees are planted annually in the province, and care is provided for existing forests. Extensive preparations are underway in the province to conduct the nationwide tree-planting campaign at a high organizational level during the year "Independent, eternally Neutral Turkmenistan – home of horses with the speed of wind." The main tree-planting ceremony in the province is planned for March 21 on a 10-hectare area located east of the Turkmenabat – Mary highway, near the provincial multidisciplinary trade market, where 4,000 coniferous tree saplings will be planted that day.
More than 52,000 participants, including representatives of the older generation, people from various professions, and students, are expected to participate in the nationwide tree-planting campaign across the region. In this large-scale event, which will be a manifestation of unity, loyalty to the Motherland, and boundless love for Turkmen nature, a total of 44,700 saplings of fruit, coniferous, shade-providing, and grape trees, including mulberry saplings, will be planted, and care for existing trees will be carried out. The saplings for the campaign will mainly be provided by provincial and district forestry enterprises, farmers' associations, and district institutions.
The fact that the nationwide tree-planting campaign coincides with the National Spring Festival – International Nowruz Day, celebrated in our country with high enthusiasm, signifies that our celebrations come together in our Motherland. The organization of a wonderful exhibition of various tree saplings and flowers, along with vibrant performances by cultural and art workers, will create a magnificent image of the Era of the Revival of the New Epoch of the Powerful State.
