Bukit Jelutong residents planting trees along the walkway at Tasik Lagenda park in Shah Alam.
Tasik Lagenda park in Bukit Jelutong in Shah Alam, Selangor now boasts an additional 100 trees thanks to a green initiative.
The tree planting was part of Sime Darby Property’s community engagement initiative, where the trees were planted along a 150m walkway across the park.
The developer’s spokesperson said the newly planted trees were expected to play a crucial role in creating shaded areas, increasing the park’s greenery and serving as a natural buffer that reduces visibility and noise.
The 100 trees include seven species, namely Dipterocarpus kunstleri (keruing gombang merah), Elaeocarpus mastersii (bead tree), Irvingia malayana (wild almond), Lithocarpus curtisii (Mempening), Palaquium obovatum (nyatoh puteh), Shorea multiflora (damar hitam), and Tabernaemontana corymbosa (jelutong badak).
More than 100 Bukit Jelutong residents took part in the collaborative effort with Bukit Jelutong Residents Association (BJRA).
“The initiative demonstrates our commitment to fostering a harmonious co-existence between urban development and the natural environment,” said the spokesperson.
“Integrating more greenery not only beautifies the area, it also improves utility for residents.
“Each tree planted is a step towards a greener future, and every hand that helped is a testament to the community’s commitment to preserving nature’s beauty and diversity.”
