United Projects for Aviation Services Company (UPAC), a leading commercial real estate and facilities management company, recently organized a tree planting activity at Al Andalus public gardens in celebration of Earth Day 2020 in collaboration with Green Hands Environmental Team, a local non-profit organization.
On 7 March, 33 volunteers from UPAC, along with their families, and a number of other volunteers took part in planting nearly 350 plants in Al Andalus public gardens with the aim of increasing the number of trees planted and beautifying the area. Before the event kicked off, the temperatures of all volunteers, adults and children, was measured and the necessary instructions were provided regarding proper hygiene, sterilization, security and safety, in addition to a short presentation for children on how to cultivate and the importance of preserving the environment.
Volunteers were also provided with farming tools to use for planting, and by the end of the day gifts were distributed to the children along with seeds to plant in their gardens.
UPAC has pledged to continue working with various environmental organizations to further its commitment at reducing its overall environmental footprint by supporting various socially responsible activities that have a positive impact on the environment.
The Green Hands Environmental Team facilitated all the necessary approvals to support UPAC’s Earth Day project this year. The non-profit organization aims to support efforts and communities to protect and conserve the environment, as well as, increase environmental sustainability awareness.
