Islamabad,The Capital Development Authority (CDA) held the Spring Tree Plantation Campaign 2026 at Shakarparian on Wednesday, aiming to make Islamabad greener, more beautiful, and environmentally sustainable.

The event was attended by senior environment officers, students, teachers, and civil society representatives.
Dr. Barth praised the active participation of students and civil society and lauded OGDCL for planting 20,000 trees under its CSR initiative.

CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa emphasized collective responsibility in enhancing Islamabad’s green cover. “Planting even a single tree in the name of our family can profoundly impact the environment,” he said. He highlighted the use of technology, including QR codes, to track the species, age, and growth of the trees and encouraged institutions to participate in CSR-based plantation drives.
