TREE PLANTATION IN YERCAUD TALUK IN COLLABORATION WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

On September 28th, 2021, SPS India Foundation, The Retreat – Don Bosco, Yercaud, in collaboration with Yercaud Taluk government officials organized a massive tree planting programme in different Panchayats such as Manjakuttai, Nagalur, Yercaud town, Valavandi and Semmanatham. The SPS INDIA FOUNDATION and government officials selected the empty places in five Panchayats to plant the saplings. Our prime focus is to achieve ecological development and reduce the effects of global warming in the Yercaud region. From our REO Nursery, we supplied 500 varieties of saplings to the government officials for the tree plantation. This tree plantation was organized with a lot of effort and love towards the environment.

The participants of this programme were officials of Yercaud Taluk, the Retreat – Don Bosco Fathers and village people from five Panchayats. The government officials and village people appreciated The Retreat – Don Bosco’s initiatives towards greening the environment and thanked us for the contribution of saplings. This programme has created a great awareness in the hearts of all those who have participated and witnessed this event. At the end of the program, all of them took an oath to plant more saplings in their areas and not to cut the trees from the forest in order to provide a green and healthy environment. SPS India Foundation will continue and organize may more events like to plant saplings in the region. Kudos to everyone!
