This year’s theme for the Tree Plantation Campaign is: “Let's Plant in a Planned Way to Build a Green Bangladesh.”

In celebration of these events, various awareness activities—such as art, debate, and slogan competitions, seminars, and industry-related awareness programs—will be held at 100 educational institutions in Dhaka and across district and sub-district levels.

Tree fairs and sapling distributions will also take place nationwide.

Public engagement campaigns, including SMS outreach, banner installations, and participatory events, will be conducted to raise awareness.
