"Tree Management Award" (TMA) is a large-scale campaign hosted by ISA Hong Kong Chapter. In this year, the campaign aims to recognize non-domestic properties (e.g. hotels, shopping malls, commercial buildings, schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme (private premises) and private schools) that excel in tree management, raise the awareness of tree preservation in the property management industry and encourage the industry to recognize the benefits of trees. It is our honor that the campaign has been supported by HKSAR Development Bureau, Chartered Institute of Housing Asian Pacific Branch, The Hong Kong Association of Property Management Companies, and The Hong Kong Institute of Housing* three years in a row, also glad to have the support of IFMA Hong Kong Chapter in this year.
