Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that caring for trees, green and the environment is the most important virtue for humanity and said that the city will gain a new forest with the initiative of Kayseri Chamber of Commerce.

Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that it makes sense that this forest will be formed with saplings to be planted in the name of each member, which is a sign of how unity and solidarity will bring grace.

Recalling the great people's bard, Aşık Veysel, saying, “Indeed, for us, the land is beyond a place on which we live our lives. It is a loyal friend. This world is the common wealth of all of us. It's a common place for all living things. The Turkish nation has always been in harmony with nature throughout history. We, who believe that every living thing praises Allah in its own way, and members of such a civilization, should not be expected to behave in any other way. To destroy nature in a vicious way, to damage the tree and the earth for no reason, is to betray the trust of Allah. Without land, we will have no place to live in this world, and when we pass on to the other world, we will have no place to sleep. Therefore, we have to give the land the value it deserves.”

Congratulating the President of Kayseri Chamber of Commerce Ömer Gülsoy, the Board of Directors, council members and all its members, Hisarcıklıoğlu said that thanks to them, he was proud to bring the saplings to the land in this festive atmosphere.
