We are delighted to share that at the end of June, we have successfully planted a mini forest in WEEE · PARK! Over the course of two days, our dedicated team planted over 700 trees, encompassing a range of at least 45 different species.

The temperature was extremely hot during the 2 days, rising up to 34°C at times. There were showers in the morning and the rain just stopped before we began planting.

Although the trees are still small now, they will grow up to 6 to 20 meters in height when fully grown. These trees will not only enhance the beauty of WEEE · PARK but also play a crucial role in cooling the area, lowering the temperature by up to 5°C, creating a refreshing oasis for everyone to enjoy.

One of the most compelling benefits of this mini forest is the improvement in air quality it will bring to WEEE · PARK. The trees will release oxygen and absorb harmful pollutants, resulting in cleaner and fresher air for our colleagues and park visitors. This environmentally friendly initiative aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability and creating a healthier community.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsor #FedEx, as well as volunteers from Food Panda HK, Footprints Foundation, Endeavour Environmental Education Foundation and Concern for Grassroots Livelihood Alliance.  Your support and participation were vital in making this initiative a reality. We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to EPD and all our colleagues who dedicated their time and effort to make this project a success. Together, we are creating positive change and leaving a lasting legacy.

Lastly, we want to acknowledge the invaluable guidance from Nature Makers Lab. Their expertise was instrumental in teaching us the Miyawaki style of tree planting. Thanks to their knowledge, we have created a thriving mini forest that will bring numerous benefits to WEEE · PARK.

We cordially invite you to visit WEEE · PARK and witness the growth and transformation of our mini forest. Let us come together to celebrate this achievement and embrace the magic of a healthier future!
