Green Oasis Blooms in Ras Tanura: 1000 Trees Take Root in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province
Green Oasis Blooms in Ras Tanura: 1000 Trees Take Root in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province"
In a powerful testament to environmental consciousness, the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia is set to undergo a transformative change as 1000 trees take root in the vibrant landscape of Ras Tanura. This ambitious tree-planting initiative, forged in partnership with Worley and NetZero, marks a significant stride towards a greener and more sustainable future.
Nestled against the backdrop of Ras Tanura's industrial tapestry, this green oasis emerges as a symbol of unity between industry giants and environmental stewards. Worley's expertise in engineering and NetZero's commitment to sustainable solutions converge in a shared mission: to turn a vision of ecological harmony into a tangible reality.
The carefully curated selection of 1,000 trees planted reflects an understanding of the unique ecological needs of the Eastern Province. Each tree planted, nurtured by the arid winds of Ras Tanura, represents not only a commitment to combatting climate change but also a promise to enhance local biodiversity and create a resilient ecosystem.
The significance of this tree-planting endeavor is not lost on the local communities. It is a tangible expression of corporate responsibility and environmental stewardship, fostering a sense of pride and ownership among those who call Ras Tanura home. The ripple effect of this green initiative is poised to create lasting positive change in the region.
Beyond the aesthetics, the partnership between Worley and NetZero underscores the transformative potential of collaboration between industry leaders and sustainability champions. Together, they are sowing the seeds of a brighter, more sustainable future—one where industries thrive alongside nature, leaving a lasting mark on the landscape and the hearts of the community.

Community and Biodiversity Impacts
Restoration and afforestation does not only have environmental impact, but also social and economic. In all of our project we strive to find the co-benefit for each tree planted on the ground.

Planted Species
Neem Tree
Neem is a fast-growing tree that can reach a height of 15–20 metres (49–66 ft), and rarely 35–40 m (115–131 ft). It is deciduous, shedding many of its leaves during the dry winter months. The branches are wide and spreading. The fairly dense crown is roundish and may reach a diameter of 20–25 m (66–82 ft). The neem tree is similar in appearance to its relative, the chinaberry.

Acacia Glauca
The Acacia glauca tree is a relatively small flowering tree. The flowers are a very bright yellow color. The leaves are compound and green. While it flowers throughout the year, the bloom is more pronounced during the spring, summer, and autumn seasons. Butterflies are highly attracted to this tree, and they also lay their eggs on it.
