Turkmenistan's entities are currently getting ready for the spring tree planting season, which is set to begin on March 16th as per President Serdar Berdimuhamedov's decree. An article by Gulnabat Dzhumamyradova, a researcher at the National Institute of Deserts, Flora, and Fauna under Turkmenistan's Ministry of Environmental Protection, was published in "Turkmen Metbugat" highlighting the implementation of the National Forestry Program. Dzhumamyradova emphasized the significance of coniferous forests, calling them the "green necklace" of the country.

Turkmenistan's National Forestry Program is a vital initiative supported by the head of state. The program focuses on greening cities and towns, creating favorable conditions for the people, and combating climate change and desertification. Coniferous forests, such as Eldar pine, Arizona cypress, and mountain pine, play a significant role in this program. They are evergreen and more effective at cleaning the air and reducing noise pollution than deciduous trees. The essential oils they release also have positive effects on human health. The program is set to start the spring tree planting season on March 16th, and specialized forestry institutions are procuring seedlings for future plantings.
