1,500 Volunteers to Plant 100,000 Seedlings via Mobile Nursery Initiative

The Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve Development Authority has launched a "mobile volunteer nursery" initiative, beginning on September 29. This initiative is part of the authority’s broader efforts to promote vegetation growth, combat desertification, and strengthen community partnerships in environmental conservation. It also aims to raise public awareness about the importance of preserving the environment and ensuring its sustainability for future generations.

 The authority announced that the initiative will engage 1,500 volunteers in planting approximately 100,000 seedlings of native wild plants. These efforts will be conducted through public spaces and the headquarters of various government, private, and non-profit organizations. The seedlings will be grown and maintained using a specially equipped mobile nursery before being transplanted into the royal reserve.

 Through this initiative, the authority seeks to promote environmental awareness, encourage volunteerism, and support long-term sustainability, aligning with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which emphasizes environmental stewardship, community engagement, and turning conservation principles into everyday practices to preserve biodiversity.
