BANGKOK, May 25 (TNA) – Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha received seedlings of Takhian (Hopea odorata) plants from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment on the occasion of the National Tree Day. 

 

In an event to mark the National Tree Day, Sarawut Silpa-archa, minister of natural resources and environment, said the National Tree Day was set on the Visakha Puja Day to encourage general people and organizations to rehabilitate forests in the country in order to cushion the impacts of climate change and smog. 

 

As the Visakha Puja Day falls on May 26 this year, the minister said he took the opportunity to hand seedlings of Takhian plants to the prime minister and seedlings of other plants to deputy prime ministers and other cabinet ministers so that they would have them planted.

Two trees that were near me along Tanon Arun Amarin 18 months ago are awaiting replacement.

While they are at it could they give the pedestrian crossings a coat of paint!!!
