The Urban Tree Museum, to be located in the RAJUK Uttara Extension Project (Phase-3) area, will showcase endangered, threatened, and native tree species of Dhaka. It will also serve as a space for research, education, and recreation, promoting environmental awareness and civic engagement.
Meanwhile, the Tree Service and Roof Garden Support Centre, to be set up at Gulshan Shaheed Tajuddin Memorial Park, will offer expert diagnostic and advisory services for tree care. The facility will include a tree hospital, plant pharmacy, and laboratory for soil testing, pest identification, and treatment solutions.
The centre will also feature a green reading and relaxation area, low-cost seedling sales, and a Tree Shelter Home service for tree owners to temporarily store plants during travel.
Officials said the initiatives will mark a new milestone in Bangladesh's efforts toward urban greening, environmental restoration, and sustainable city development.
