A green initiative took root at Legayada Elementary School with a Seedling Production workshop. This event attracted 29 eager participants, including 20 pupils, a teacher, a guest speaker, and seven SEA staff members. The focus of the workshop was to equip attendees with the skills needed to properly transfer seeds into seedling bags, laying the foundation for future tree-growing activities. This hands-on experience not only imparted practical knowledge but also instilled a sense of responsibility for nurturing the environment from a young age.
A significant aspect of the environmental conservation efforts in the region is the establishment and enhancement of nursery in partner school, Legayada Elementary School had embarked on this journey. The school received a substantial SEA counterpart of Php 10,000.00 to support the establishment and improvement of the nursery.
The financial assistance provided by SEA serves as a catalyst for these schools to create and maintain nurturing environments for young plants. The funds are used for procuring essential materials, implementing sustainable practices, and ensuring the overall success of the nursery programs. This collaboration between schools and the SEA program exemplifies the power of community-driven initiatives and underscores the importance of collective efforts in preserving our environment.
As these schools actively participate in environmental projects, the ripple effect is evident not only in the increased green cover but also in the growing environmental awareness within the community. Students, teachers, and parents alike are becoming ambassadors for environmental sustainability, spreading the message of responsible stewardship beyond the confines of the classroom.
The success of the initiatives at Legayada Elementary School serves as a testament to the positive impact that local, community-driven environmental projects can have.
