Port Harcourt, June 13, 2025 ,As the world faces increasing environmental crises, one issue stands tall among the rest: deforestation. With millions of trees lost each year, our planet is losing its natural air purifiers, temperature regulators, and defenders against climate change. The consequences are evident: soaring global temperatures, rising sea levels, and poor air quality. Sadly, the Niger Delta region, including Rivers State, has not been spared.
But amidst the challenge, Velox Real Estate and Investment Limited is rewriting the narrative.
In celebration of World Tree Planting Day, Velox is proud to reaffirm its commitment to global sustainability by planting hundreds of trees across its flagship development, The Retreat Residences and Resort, the first eco friendly and carbon emission free estate in Rivers State.
“We are not just building homes; we are building a future,” says the Velox spokesperson. “Our goal is to integrate nature, wellness, and innovation in every square meter of our estate. The Retreat isn’t just a name; it’s a promise, a retreat into a healthier, greener, and more sustainable way of life.”
By championing tree planting and eco conscious design, Velox is aligning itself with global environmental goals and ensuring that Rivers State takes its place on the world map of climate forward communities.
Why Trees Matter More Than Ever
Trees are more than just greenery. They are life givers. They reduce harmful carbon dioxide, improve air quality, prevent erosion, and offer vital habitat for biodiversity. In a world where cities are expanding faster than forests can regrow, every tree planted is a step toward saving the planet.
This World Tree Planting Day, Velox calls on everyone, individuals, organizations, and governments to act.
Let us make tree planting not just a ceremonial event but a lifestyle. Let us build legacies that breathe.
