In conjunction with Earth Day 2019, Bangi Golf Resort and Bangi Farm Resort wanted to do their part to preserve Mother Nature in the whole month of April by planting 1200 Paulownia trees on the golf course.  Paulownia trees are extremely fast-growing and can reproduce from seeds or root sprouts. A single tree can produce up to twenty million seeds each year that are easily dispersed by wind and water and a matured tree cost around RM4,000. The trees are hardy and resilient and are easily established and are drought- and pollution-tolerant and easy to maintain. Like every other kind of tree, the Paulownia helps sequester carbon dioxide and provide more oxygen for humans and animals to breathe in.  Bangi Farm Resort Manager, Tan Ban Keat said, “Bangi Golf Resort and Bangi Farm Resort really want to do our part to save Mother Nature. Why plant 1200 trees? The reason for this is that we want to build a natural oxygen tank for Bangi. We hope to eventually transform Bangi...
