Forest Parks & Wildlife Department Gilgit-Baltistan

Uplifting of plants has started at Balgar Forest Nursery and Kharkho Forest in Ghanche Forest Division.

Land levelling work has also commenced at the new Saling Forest Plantation site, with the support of the administration of Danish School Ghanche, which provided an excavator. This assistance will help prepare the land for the upcoming tree plantation campaign.

The collaboration between the Ghanche Forest Division and Danish School Ghanche is an excellent example of community involvement in environmental conservation efforts. In addition, small cuttings of poplar and Russian olive and Willow species are being prepared for planting in forest nurseries across the Ghanche Division.
