Meram Municipality Youth Council organized a meaningful event to raise awareness about the increasing forest fires during the summer months.
As part of this initiative, young people from Meram held a sapling planting event in Alakova Neighborhood under the slogan “Let Forests Thrive, Let Hope Grow.”
Members of the Meram Youth Council set an example with this meaningful event in a country where thousands of hectares of forest are lost each year.
In a statement from the Meram Youth Council, it was emphasized that protecting nature is not just a duty but a responsibility that every individual should uphold.
Meram Mayor Mustafa Kavuş also shared his thoughts on the meaningful event, expressing his appreciation for the young people's sensitivity. He said, “We are proud to see our youth being so aware and responsible toward nature. Every sapling planted here today is not just taking root in the soil—it is also becoming a symbol of hope for our future. This meaningful event organized by the Meram Youth Council once again demonstrates how strong environmental and ecological awareness is among the younger generations. It has strengthened our hopes for the future even more. I truly believe that with each sapling planted today, Meram’s future is becoming even brighter. As the municipality, we are making great efforts to ensure that Meram, which is renowned for its greenery, remains green and that this natural richness grows even stronger. I extend my heartfelt thanks to our young people and all our citizens who are walking with us toward this goal.”
