pAmornpun Nimanun, the governor of a href=”http://1stopthailand.com/chiangmai”Chiang Mai/a, has announced a new policy that calls on each provincial village to plant 3,000 trees, in an effort to create green areas totalling 60,000 rai. /p

pDuring a meeting this week with officials from the province’s environment and animal department, the governor noted that water supply was a concern currently. He asked all agencies cooperate to ensure the availability and quality water from all sources. /p

pIn addition to provincial departments, the governor also asked Royal Projects officials for information and guidance on water sources and management. He has asked authorities throughout the province to help prevent the illegal destruction of natural resources, including streams and trees. /p

pIt was in this framework that he introduced the plan to increase the province’s green areas, and proposed that each village plant 3,000 new trees. The governor added that as there are more than 2,000 villages in Chiang Mai province, if 100 trees were planted per rai, 60,000 rai of green space would result./p
