GREEN HOMELAND PLATFORM AND IAÜ PLANTED SAPLINGS ON NATIONAL AFFORESTATION DAY

With the cooperation of Green Homeland Platform, AKEV and IAU, saplings were planted in İhsaniye region by pairing disabled individuals from Bağcılar Municipality Feyzullah Kıyıklık Palace for the Disabled and students from IAU Ecorecreation Club with the body system.

National Afforestation Day is a day of awareness and planting saplings in order to protect our forests, manage them sustainably and make our country healthier and more livable for our future generations. Our country is a paradise on earth with its forests, green areas, natural parks, valleys, canyons, rivers, waterfalls and recreation areas. We strive to preserve this paradise on earth in the most beautiful way and to bequeath it to the future.

With the cooperation of the Green Homeland Platform, Anatolian Education and Culture Foundation (AKEV), Istanbul Aydın University (IAU), and IAU Ecorecreation Club, we will continue to leave a green legacy to the future with a national consciousness, with a national mobilization consciousness, always bringing more saplings together with our homeland soil, based on the words of the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, “A land without forests is not a homeland.” Disabled individuals from Bağcılar Municipality Feyzullah Kıyıklık Palace for the Disabled were paired with students from IAU Ecorecreation Club through the body system and planted saplings in the area determined by Istanbul Provincial Forestry Regional Directorate in Ihsaniye region.

We hope that the saplings planted on National Afforestation Day will lead to a greener Turkey and a greener Istanbul.
