The King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority, in partnership with the Green Dahna Association, has launched an initiative to plant 10,000 Arta trees in the Al-Dahna sands.

The project engaged 300 volunteers from government agencies and educational institutions to rehabilitate local ecosystems and promote a culture of environmental stewardship.

Chosen for its high adaptability to harsh desert climates and its effectiveness in soil stabilization, the Arta tree serves as a strategic investment in biodiversity and desertification control.

Authority CEO Maher AlGothmi‏ highlighted that this collaboration exemplifies the institutional integration required to meet Saudi Green Initiative and Vision 2030 goals, ensuring the sustainability of natural resources for future generations through research and community engagement.

Farmers across Najran Region have started the date palm pollination season, a critical phase in ensuring a high-quality harvest in this vital agricultural sector.

According to local farmer Ahmed Al-Saqour, the process begins each February with the emergence of palm spathes and follows a rigorous preparation period involving pruning fronds, clearing thorns, and removing offshoots from the "mother palms", SPA reported.

Pollination is carried out manually by carefully placing high-quality pollen powder into the developing spathes to ensure maximum yield.

This traditional practice supports over 526,000 fruit-bearing trees across 2,696 hectares, contributing more than 40,000 tons of premium dates to the local market annually and serving as a cornerstone of Najran’s regional economy.
