PLANTING TREES
One benefit of community youths planting trees is that it instills a sense of ownership and responsibility towards their environment and community, teaching them valuable lessons about sustainability, conservation, and the importance of giving back to their community. Additionally, it can also:
1. Provide an opportunity for physical activity and outdoor engagement;
2. Foster teamwork and social connections among the youths;
3. Educate them about the importance of trees in combating climate change and supporting biodiversity;
4. Encourage intergenerational knowledge sharing and mentorship;
5. Develop their leadership and project management skills;
6. Enhance their sense of pride and self-worth; and,
7. Create a lasting positive impact on their community.
Tree planting can be a powerful tool for youth development and community engagement!
