UNITED Development Company (UDC), a leading Qatari public shareholding company and master developer of The Pearl-Qatar and Gewan Island, organised a ‘Tree Planting Day’ at The Pearl-Qatar.
The event, which was launched in partnership with Al Sulaiteen Agricultural and Industrial Complex (SAIC), and was attended by residents of The Pearl-Qatar, featured a myriad of activities targeting all age groups, including a planting workshop, educational games, as well as colouring and drawing activities.
The initiative follows the recent launch of The Pearl-Qatar’s Seabed Cleanup Campaign, which coincided with World Cleanup Day and National Cleanup Day.
Both events are part of UDC’s multifaceted environmental, waste management and recycling strategy and reflect the company’s commitment to promoting environmental awareness in line with national and global sustainability principles.
Over 10,000 trees and 70,000 plants exist at The Pearl-Qatar where a total area of 515,000 sqm was set aside for soft landscaping, including 66 different species of trees, shrubs, flowers and grass.
