Faisal Town Group has launched a comprehensive Spring Tree Plantation Drive in collaboration with the Punjab government and the Punjab Forest Department to preserve and restore the natural ecosystem of the Margalla Hills region. The initiative sets a target of planting 500,000 saplings during 2026 reinforcing the Group’s long-term commitment to environmental sustainability and ecological rehabilitation.

In alignment with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s ‘Green Punjab’ vision and the broader ‘Plant for Pakistan’ initiative the large-scale plantation campaign focuses on restoring forest areas adversely affected by stone crushing activities and environmental degradation. Environmental experts emphasise that structured afforestation efforts of this magnitude are essential to combat rising pollution levels smog biodiversity loss and the escalating impacts of climate change.

Chairman Faisal Town Group Chaudhry Abdul Majeed reaffirmed the Group’s enduring commitment to environmental preservation and responsible development. He stated that sustainable growth remains a core pillar of Faisal Town Group’s philosophy and that environmental conservation is being institutionalised across all ongoing and future projects. He emphasised that development and ecological balance must move forward together, ensuring long-term ecological resilience.

The plantation drive was formally launched at Faisal Hills and witnessed participation from representatives of public and private sector institutions environmental stakeholders students and local residents. Hundreds of saplings were planted across designated areas as part of a structured forest restoration plan for the region.

Faisal Town Group Director Chaudhry Zohair Majeed highlighted that the plantation initiative is directly aligned with the Group’s Vision 2040, formally announced in December 2025. He noted that the policy of planting one tree for every kanal developed by Faisal Town Group was embedded within the Vision 2040 framework as a measurable sustainability commitment. He added that the Group’s expansion strategy is consciously linked with environmental accountability, ensuring that each phase of development contributes to mass forestation and structured green infrastructure planning.

Chief Conservator of Forests Iftikhar-ul-Hassan Farooqi remarked that partnerships with responsible corporate entities such as Faisal Town Group are instrumental in translating the ‘Green Punjab’ vision into practical implementation, particularly in rehabilitating affected forest areas of the Margalla Hills.

Faisal Town Group Director Chaudhry Moazzam Majeed emphasised that, beyond plantation targets, Faisal Town Group is implementing structured monitoring mechanisms to ensure the survival, growth, and maintenance of newly planted trees. He stated that dedicated environmental management teams will oversee plantation zones protection measures and long-term green area development across projects. He added that sustainability is not a one-day campaign for Faisal Town Group but an operational commitment embedded into execution compliance and future expansion planning.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, participants pledged to continue the plantation drive in the coming months alongside structured protection monitoring and maintenance measures to ensure the long-term survival of the newly planted trees.
