Let's hope that the tree planting project is a success and that the maintenance of the trees is done to ensure that they mature and serve the intended purpose. The 300 trees were donated to the programme by the Chaguanas-based Centrascape Garden Centre, which will also oversee the installation of the trees along the roadway. This is indeed a wonderful gesture on the part of Cerntascape Carden Center. Let's hope that projects like these occur all over the country.
