Co-organised by NWS Holdings and Green Power, "HK‧Love‧Trees" is the first
large-scale and sustainable tree conservation project in Hong Kong that enables
the public to share their memories and appreciation of different species of
trees in Hong Kong. A series of activities including the selection of the most
popular tree in Hong Kong through nomination, writing, photos, bus body design
competitions, etc would be organized to celebrate trees and raise public
awareness on trees conservation and climate change. It is also the kick-off
activity of NWS Holdings Charities Foundation.
