Members of “We Need Trees” planted 400 trees in Iran

In the last month of winter, a few weeks to spring in Iran, a group of environmentalists and the members of ” We Need Trees ” project, at Friday 22th Feb 2013 , had a gathering near Dehbaar village ( 30km from Mashhad ) to plant 400 Juniper trees ( in Persian= Ors ) to celebrate spring coming. Around 150 men and women, old and young, take part in this project with cooperation of We Need Trees project and Forrests and Natural Resources and Miniature Co.

The program began at 9 AM , and everybody did planting their trees joyfully in nice weather of mountains morning , and the program finished at 1 PM .
In the end , these friends of nature in a beautiful and memorizable day drank hot drink and took pictures together , hoping that someday themselves or their children will have lots of good times in the shade of these little trees of today and big ones of tomorrow and enjoy the cool weather of mountains ..
with hope for that day …

Last Update About Me

January 14 
 I am here in valdivia since Friday evening. I almost finished cycling in Chile this time and only one part has left that I will do in febraury when the giant flies are gone. There are a giant black flies called Tabano in this area which kills you. They are really hard to take it. Now I am planning what to do and how to organize my coming months. A very challenging part of journey.
