August 06, 2013

Eight trees have been added to the Old & Valuable Trees Register to boost their protection.
 
The Development Bureau's Tree Management Office announced the move today, saying 20 trees have been added to the register in the past year.
 
The Government launched the register in 2004. Trees on it are included due to their large size, rarity, old age, outstanding form or cultural, historical or memorable significance.
 
Data on the register is updated on a regular basis.
