The program aims to improve vegetation, enhance green spaces, and beautify the urban landscape in line with Vision 2030 goals. Building on existing environmental efforts, the initiative focuses on expanding tree planting and distributing seedlings in specific areas to boost quality of life and beautify the region. Beyond this, the program seeks to raise environmental awareness, foster a culture of tree preservation, and encourage community involvement in sustainability and natural resource management. The National Afforestation Season is a key initiative across the Kingdom, promoting native plant species and encouraging participation from all sectors to achieve sustainability goals.
