Shavkat Mirziyoyev calls on everyone to plant trees

President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has appealed to all community leaders and active citizens to take the lead in planting saplings and flowers along every street, around homes, and by roadsides, as well as trees and shrubs in foothill and steppe areas. He made the remarks today, April 1, during a tree-planting event held within the framework of the nationwide “Yashil Makon” project.

“Our people did not say in vain: ‘A good person leaves behind a garden,’ ‘One sapling brings a thousand blessings,’ and ‘When you have a child or celebrate a wedding, plant a tree.’ We all feel in our daily lives that the significance of these wise sayings is becoming more relevant than ever,” Mirziyoyev said.

The head of state addressed mahalla chairpersons, respected elders, women’s representatives, and all active citizens, calling on them to more widely promote national customs, traditions, and values in local communities. He urged them to encourage residents to take part in such noble efforts in a spirit of solidarity and unity, to organize clubs and community groups, and to guide young people in planting saplings and flowers along streets, around homes, and by roadsides, as well as trees and shrubs in foothill and steppe areas.

“Indeed, every sapling planted with good intentions means life, clean air, a healthy environment, and the future,” the head of state said.
