APSARA National Authority is planning to distribute 110,000 seedlings in Siem Reap to promote greenness.

The update was shared recently by the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, adding that the measure aims to increase forest areas at Angkor Archaeological Park.

According to Mr. Lei Kimsy, Expert of the authority’s Forestry, Cultural Landscapes, and Environmental Management Department, those plants include luxurious, decoration, and fruit trees.

So far, the authority has four seedling production stations, including 8 Hectares, Prasat Takeo, Mondul III, and Balong.

Last year alone, APSARA National Authority handed out about 100,000 trees and plant seedlings.
