It was with great enthusiasm that the Otara Foundation teamed up with the Colombo Municipal Council to start a tree planting project that would increase the tree-cover around Colombo city, mainly around main roads where they are much needed. The project started on the 30th of August in celebration of Otara’s birthday where 50 tabeuia rosea trees along Cambridge Place and Thurstan Road were planted. A total of 184 trees will be planted as part of the project including endemic species such as Kohomba, Ehela, Karanda and Moodilla.
