Social Project: “Plant A Tree” at Taman Rekreasi Hutan Paya Bakau Kampung Sijangkang

(September 2023)

On 20th September 2023, Yayasan Kossan had the opportunity to join hands once again with Taman Rekreasi Hutan Paya Bakau at Kampung Sijangkang on to plant mangrove trees. Mangrove trees are important to conserve biodiversity and mitigate climate change. Sijangkang is especially known to be home to many wildlife species, such as birds, reptiles and mangroves; hence, the trees help to preserve the species and their habitats.

Like last time, the event began at 8.30am with light breakfast, followed by morning exercise and a light Zumba session. The park rangers brought our 20 volunteers for a walk along the walkway to get to know the land. A short briefing session was then held before the tree-planting session began.

In total, we managed to plant 130 mangrove trees from the “Bakau Kurap” species. The event lasted until well into the afternoon. Once done, the volunteers were served lunch for their efforts. We look forward to join this event again next year.
