He added that the event also aims at encouraging the youths to take part in rebuilding their homeland and at consolidating their ability to revive hope despite all difficulties.

 He hailed the facilitations provided by the agriculture directorate in Lattakia in terms of providing the seedlings and the equipment necessary for this process.

On his part, Samer Abdo, assistant head of the Directorate’s Forestation Department, said that the forestation plan for the years 2021-2022 covers an area of 800 hectares all over the province. It targets the burnt and degraded sites.
