“Forestation Event”, which has been organized since 1961 to enrich the presence of forest in METU and to call for the society to leave a livable country for future generations, and which has made our campus the biggest forest of Ankara today, was held on October 30, 2019.
The activity for forestation of the areas around METU 50th Year Pond is organized to commemorate our late Forestation and Landscaping Manager Erhan Torunoğlu who had a very valuable contribution to the protection and expansion of the forest land of METU, who passed away on October 1st, 2019. Our president, Prof. Dr. Mustafa Verşan Kök planted a cypress sapling in memory of Torunoğlu.
METU students, members, and pre, primary and secondary school students from various schools in Ankara contributed to the expansion of the METU forest by planting three thousand pine saplings in the region.
