A large-scale city-wide clean-up event took place in Almaty, coinciding with World Cleanup Day and the celebration of City Day. More than 50,000 people participated in the environmental initiative.

Events were held across all city districts as part of the national program 'Taza Kazakhstan,' initiated by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

One key location was the Ayusay Visitor Center, where over a thousand participants gathered. The mayor of Almaty, Darkhan Satybaldy, joined the clean-up. Alongside residents, youth, volunteers, and city service representatives, they planted trees. In Ayusay, 100 coniferous trees were planted—50 pines and 50 firs.

Tasks were conducted simultaneously across the entire city. Participants cleaned parks, squares, courtyards, public spaces, and recreational areas. As part of the clean-up, over 1,000 trees were planted throughout Almaty. Students, volunteers, public organizations, employees of municipal services, businesses, and institutions took part in the action.

The national program 'Taza Kazakhstan' aims to foster a respectful attitude toward the environment and promote cleanliness. As repeatedly emphasized by the head of state, this activity should have a systemic nature and be integrated into daily life.

The celebration of World Cleanup Day on City Day merged ecological efforts with festive activities: tens of thousands of Almaty residents participated in improving urban and green spaces.

In Astana, an environmental campaign took place at Industrial Park No. 1 as part of the 'Taza Qazaqstan' initiative, gathering more than 700 participants.

Employees from the Astana Invest City Investment Development Center and representatives from various production companies in the city participated in the event.

"Today at Industrial Park No. 1, we are conducting a large-scale tree planting and sanitary cleaning of adjacent areas and public spaces as part of the 'Taza Qazaqstan' initiative. This week, approximately 800 trees have been planted. Today, the Astana Invest team — around 100 people — is also taking part in the planting. Furthermore, park investors are engaged in the sanitary cleaning of areas near their facilities. In total, the event involves over 700 participants," stated Sabit Mukhamedzhanuly, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Astana Invest.

Following the recommendations of agronomists from Astana-Zelenstroy LLP, two types of trees have been selected for planting.

"We have chosen elm and poplar for planting. These trees are more resilient to the local climate and thrive well since this was a marshland area previously. Other types of trees struggle to take root here. The saplings were brought in from a nursery, each standing at least 3 meters tall. This initiative will be held annually," explained Sabit Mukhamedzhanuly.

According to him, in anticipation of World Cleanup Day, a relevant appeal was sent to all investors in the park. The 'Taza Qazaqstan' initiative unites residents with a common goal — to make the city clean, beautiful, and comfortable. Such efforts not only enhance the urban environment but also foster cooperation between businesses and government entities.
