On 6th of March, a team of 7 UWCSEA members carried out a successful planting project with the students of Dover Court International School. Other than planting a total of 7 trees on the lush field of Dover Court, it was an incredible experience as we guided the younger members of Dover Court in the planting steps, teaching them the techniques of digging, mulching, fertilizing and labeling the plants. It is our hope that the trees will grow healthily and that these young fellows will do their part in conserving rainforest tree species as well!
A big thank you to Mr Jonathan Fisher and the Dover Court community for making this possible!
The following is the tree species we planted:
- Durian tree (Durio zibethinus)
- Yellow flame tree (Peltophorum pterocarpum)
- Mangosteen tree (Garcinia mangostona)
- Hopea odorata
- Saga tree (Adenanthera pavonina)
- Mango tree (Mangifera indica)
- Longan tree (Dimocarpus longan)
