Over 30 members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) joined forces with Watford Borough Council to plant trees in Meriden Park last week.
AMYA - a youth organisation representing young Muslims from across Hertfordshire - planted a mixture of English oak, spindle, hornbeam and holly.
The project forms part of the Association’s national tree planting initiative that it is running in conjunction with the Woodland Trust and has seen more than 2,000 trees planted already.
Elected Mayor, Dorothy Thornhill, said: "It is great to see a voluntary organisation offering practical help to make Watford a little greener and welcoming to wildlife; especially when the younger generation are involved."
Abdul Aziz Choudhry, Regional youth leader for the AMYA, said: “Events such as these help to promote good community relations and offer us a welcome opportunity to contribute positively towards this great region and country. The Prophet Muhammad, who was a mercy for mankind, was particular about protecting the environment and planting trees. It is his noble example which is the inspiration behind this initiative.''
