The Royal Forestry Department (RFD) has introduced the e-Tree app, which will allow owners of trees once prohibited for trading under dated forest law to register trees grown on their land, so that they can put them on sale from now on. However, the process was criticised for being too complicated and out of date, thus impeding the development of timber management around the country. The law revision was published in the Royal Gazette on April 16, resulting in the amendment coming into effect. He invited tree owners nationwide to access the app and register their stocks. An emergency number is also available at 1310, extension 3, in case owners need to consult officials about registration or any legal complications, he added.
