Introduction
The Youth for Environment in Schools Organization aims to take part in the
nationwide tree planting that will provide a unique educational opportunity for students to
actively participate in such activities. This project also fosters a deeper understanding of
environmental issues and promoting conservation efforts.
With this, educational benefits will be attained by planting trees that will also
contribute to the beautification of school grounds. These trees will provide shade, improve air
quality, and create a calming atmosphere, enhance the overall ambience of the school and
creating a more pleasant and conductive learning environment for students.

concepts, seeks to develop a strong sense of responsibility towards the environment.
Numerous benefits will be obtained not just for our environment but as the people in the
community as well.
