By Zoila Palma: As part of Belize’s 44th Independence celebrations, the Belize Forest Department today hosted a Tree Handing-Over Ceremony at its headquarters in Belmopan.
Each of the country’s nine municipalities received 44 plants, symbolizing the nation’s 44 years of independence.
The initiative forms part of the nationwide Greening Belize Program, which seeks to plant one million trees across the country within the next five years.
The Forest Department highlighted that this milestone was made possible through strong partnerships with the Corozal Sustainable Future Initiative (CSFI), Ya’axché Conservation Trust, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise.
In extending gratitude, the Department recognized the support of the Belize Mayors’ Association and its own staff, whose efforts are driving this national vision.
The Belize Forest Department emphasized that initiatives like these contribute to building a “greener, healthier, and more sustainable Belize for generations to come.”
