The faculty and administrative staff of Central Philippines State University planted 550 trees in the tree-planting outreach program at two sites within the universityโs land reserve.
Spearheaded by the Universityโs Natural Resources and Environmental Management Services, headed by Mr. Gregorio D. Predo, the participants trekked towards Legacy Park 4 and Legacy Park 3 on the CPSU Main Campus for the activity.
The participants planted various native trees like Bogo, Alolawihaw, Dracontomelon Dao, and Lumangog, Binalukay, and Narra tree to avoid the banes of introducing non-native tree species.
The activity aims to promote the attainment of Sustainable Goals like SDG 13 โ Climate Action and SDG 15 โ Life on Land, and to reforest the area affected by the forest fire due to the rising temperatures brought by the recent El Niรฑo phenomenon and the destructive wind brought by Super Typhoon Odette.
The universityโs personnel who share a common sentiment on the significance of trees in providing a livable environment for future generations, therefore, are one for the campaign for the reforestation of our countryโs forests as demonstrated in the activity done on August 29, 2024.
