Ras Al Khaimah: The Jumeriah Golf Estate (JGE) has launched an extensive tree planting programme as part of the UAE’s ongoing ‘Year of Zayed’ celebrations.
JGE plans on planting 200 ghaf trees, the national tree of the UAE. They will be planting them across two of their internationally-acclaimed championship golf courses.
The objective of the programme is to bring the late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s goal of sustainability to this generation and honour his dream of bringing more greenery to the UAE.
Yousuf Kazim, CEO of Jumeriah Golf Estate said, “The Estate has truly embraced Shaikh Zayed’s vision to transform the desert into a green haven for a more sustainable UAE; and is honoured to be contributing to his nationwide message. The planting of the ghaf tree stands as a testament to JGE’s commitment to the UAE’s desire for a sustainable future.”
The estate offers one of the largest habitats for wildlife in Dubai. With 4,000 trees, 15 lakes and more than 340 native bird species, JGE is one of the Middle Easts’ most prestigious residential golf communities.
