Bahrain News: 1,700 trees planted on major highway – Gulf Digital News






MORE than 1,700 trees have been planted on the Shaikh Salman Highway in Zayed Town as part of efforts by the Southern Municipality to beautify the area and help fight climate change.


A total of 1,700 Bougainvillea bushes – tropical vine-like shrubs that are drought tolerant, love the sun and pack a huge punch of colour – were put in place in addition to 70 trees of different species, such as Poinciana and Hibiscus, revealed Southern Municipality director general Assem Abdullateef .
