According to Huttons, the target amount will allow the fund to plant 200 new trees in total. "Being a part of the Huttons family is not all real estate work; there are plenty of corporate welfare collaborations with other brands, sports activities, and community engagement events", says Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons. The real estate agency began supporting the movement in 2022 through its Plant-A-Tree programme. To date, it has raised over $40,000 for the fund. "We are grateful to Huttons for supporting the Plant-A-Tree programme", says Leo Tan, Garden City Fund chairman. "Their support will serve as an inspiring example to encourage others to join us in realising our vision of becoming a City in Nature." The Huttons x OneMillionTrees Sustainability Walk event will take place on July 7. Tickets are currently on sale with early-bird discounts ending May 31.
