SINGAPORE - Jurong Island is looking greener than ever, with the addition of 34,000 trees since 2020.

The number of trees on the island has quadrupled to 44,000 in April 2023 from 10,000 in 2019.

......

More than 70 businesses on Jurong Island donated over $760,000 to help fund the initiative

......

The trees are also planted in a multi-tiered manner, with plants of different heights planted to create layers, replicating how forests look.

This will also help to cool down the island – which is in one of the hotter areas in Singapore
