Eastern Region: The Eastern Region Municipality's "Our Eastern Region is Green" initiative has taken major steps toward expanding green areas, advancing environmental sustainability, and beautifying urban landscapes, in line with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative objectives.
According to Saudi Press Agency, since the inception of the initiative, 550,000 trees and shrubs, along with 3.6 million flowers, have been planted across 18 neighborhoods, 35 streets, and 22 parks. This massive greening effort has been achieved with the support of 35 entities and 1,200 volunteers working collaboratively.
The General Administration of Parks and Environmental Architecture has added significantly to these efforts by planting 680,000 trees and shrubs, as well as 7.7 million flowers, across 422 parks. In addition, 205,000 square meters of green spaces have been developed, and irrigation networks have been installed along 30 kilometers of roads.
The central nursery has also been instrumental in meeting the initiative's goals by producing 280,000 trees and shrubs and 6.3 million flowers. Continuous efforts are being made to improve the quality of services and to extend green spaces, enhancing the region's visual appeal.
