Sadanand Shetty Chairman Soham Group said: “Green trees are a cherished national resource, which provide precious habitats for wildlife and natural spaces for generations to enjoy. Planting trees will help us to extend green cover which will benefit natural habitat and improve the environment and help grow the economy. Planting trees is a way of giving public expression to the challenges of climate change and ecosystem. With the reality of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns and more frequent storms and floods, tree cover to prevent devastating soil erosion has never been more important. At Soham tree planting is a part of our corporate philosophy . It is not so much the number of trees but how well we take care of the planted tree saplings ”.
