Residents of Yeroskipou on Sunday morning planted 600 trees within municipal limits to help fight climate change.

The event started at the central Ayios Spyridonas church and included a tidy up of various areas within the town.

A different kind of planting ceremony will be held on Tuesday at Athienou primary school following an initiative by Cypriot singer Alexia Vasiliou and the Re-bE programme, which will see children green the environment of their school.

The trees will be provided by the forestry department through its programme I Plant for the Environment, which encourages children to appreciate nature by the planting of trees.

The event will be attended by Agriculture Minister Costas Kadis as well as Alexia.
