As part of the “Plant a Tree, Preserve the Future” initiative, several trees will be planted across Al Habtoor Polo Resort. The selected species have been carefully chosen for their resilience, environmental benefits, and suitability to the local ecosystem, ensuring alignment with sustainable landscaping practices already in place at the resort. The plantation includes a variety of trees, each contributing uniquely to soil health, shade provision, and biodiversity support.
Beyond enhancing the visual landscape of the resort, the initiative will increase green cover, improve air quality, and support local ecosystems.
