To mark the global celebration, volunteers and organizers teamed up for a meaningful Tree Planting and Tree Nurturing activity, alongside the 2nd Quarter "Adopt-an-Estero" Cleanup Drive aimed at restoring and protecting local waterways.

During the initiative, approximately 1,900 out of 2,111 prepared seedlingsโcomprising native and fruit-bearing species such as Kupang, Ipil, Akleng Parang, Lanutan, and Makopaโwere planted. At the same time, the cleanup drive collected 132.35 kg of combined waste from the creek, which included 15 kg of segregated plastics.
These activities aim to contributing to the following Sustainable Development Goals:

The Tree Planting and Nurturing activity fights climate change by creating carbon sinks and expanding urban green spaces.

By intercepting trash, plastic, and debris in creeks and esteros, the cleanup prevents land-based pollution from flowing downstream into marine environments.

Planting trees and restoring habitats protects local wildlife, preserves terrestrial ecosystems, and encourages sustainable land management.
Additionally, the initiative aligns with:
