Over one million trees planted in Al-Baha city and surrounding governorates

Al-Baha Municipality has strengthened its efforts to achieve environmental sustainability, improve quality of life, and enhance the urban landscape by planting more than one million trees in Al-Baha city and its affiliated governorates. The initiative primarily relied on native trees suited to the region’s nature and climate, as part of programs aimed at expanding green spaces and conserving water.

The municipality explained that the afforestation covered 143 parks and gardens across the region, increasing the total green area to over 1.25 million square meters. This expansion provides an attractive urban environment for residents and visitors, offering suitable spaces for walking, family outings, and outdoor social and recreational activities.

The municipality noted that planting native trees helps reduce reliance on fresh water, as these species are compatible with Al-Baha’s climate and can adapt to its natural environment. This supports water conservation goals and the preservation of natural resources.

Al-Baha Municipality highlighted that these efforts are part of its development programs to enhance quality of life, improve the general appearance, expand green spaces in Al-Baha city and all governorates, and boost the appeal of parks and public spaces. These initiatives align with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 and programs to improve quality of life and environmental sustainability.

The municipality affirmed its ongoing commitment to implementing afforestation and urban beautification programs, expanding the planting of environmentally suitable species, and improving irrigation, maintenance, and field monitoring to preserve vegetation and ensure the sustainability of agricultural gains throughout the region’s governorates and centers.
