SINGAPORE : A total of 145 trees were planted at Pasir Ris Park on Tuesday, as part of the National Parks Earth Day celebrations.

The trees will be part of NParks' "Native Trail", which will be ready soon.

The tree-planting involves children from Intellect Child Care and adults from SoulCentre, a school behind motivation and leadership education.

One of the highlights of the Earth Day celebrations saw students from 23 schools transforming rubbish bins into their own unique art creations.

Deyi Secondary School and Meridien Primary School were awarded top prizes in the "Paint A Bin Competition", which carries an anti-littering message. - CNA/de
