CDA Steps Up Plantation Drive To Improve Islamabad’s Green Spaces
ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 9th Sep, 2026) The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has intensified its tree plantation and landscaping efforts across Islamabad, focusing on:
- Green belts
- Road medians
- Parks
- Intersections
- Other public spaces
The aim is to enhance the city's environment and preserve its green character.
The CDA Environment Wing has deployed teams to:
- Plant trees, flowering plants, ornamental plants, and shrubs at designated locations.
- Replace dead or damaged plants.
- Rehabilitate existing green areas.
This campaign seeks to:
- Improve public spaces for residents and visitors.
- Contribute to cleaner air.
- Foster a healthier urban environment.
- Increase biodiversity.
Alongside plantation, the Environment Wing is conducting essential horticultural work, including:
- Watering
- Pruning
- Grass cutting
to support the growth of newly planted trees and maintain existing green areas.
Officials emphasize the selection of plant species suited to Islamabad’s environmental conditions, prioritizing climate-compatible and locally suitable varieties.
Preserving Islamabad's green belts, parks, and tree-lined avenues remains a priority for residents. The CDA has therefore called on citizens, educational institutions, businesses, and organizations to participate in plantation activities and contribute to the protection of existing trees and plants.
The authority assures continuous plantation efforts across the capital, with relevant officers monitoring progress and vegetation health.
Sustained planting and green space conservation are crucial for preserving Islamabad as a green, clean, and environmentally sustainable Federal capital.
