SINGAPORE, April 15 (The Straits Tims/ANN): The movement to plant one million trees and restore nature back in Singapore has crossed the halfway mark, with more than 540,000 trees introduced across the Republic since the launch of the OneMillionTrees Movement in April 2020.

The National Parks Board (NParks) on Saturday said the programme is three years ahead of its 2030 target, adding that together with the community, they have planted trees along streetscapes, on Jurong Island and other industrial estates, and within nature reserves and gardens.
