Tree Week - 20 fils

This stamp commemorates Tree Week 1965, a national campaign promoting tree planting, environmental conservation, and the expansion of green spaces throughout Iraq. Such initiatives were organized to encourage public participation in afforestation projects and to raise awareness of the importance of trees in protecting soil, improving agricultural conditions, and combating the effects of erosion and desertification.

By issuing this stamp, Iraq highlighted the value of environmental stewardship and sustainable land management. The issue reflects national efforts to improve the natural environment and emphasizes the important role that trees play in supporting agriculture, enhancing living conditions, and contributing to the country's long-term development.
