Tree planting initiative by the High Atlas Foundation under the slogan “Every student has a tree”
Planting trees and promoting the culture of planting among younger generations
By Mohamed el khabbaz/Program assistant.
On January 15, the High Atlas Foundation celebrates the National Tree Planting Day, as an embodiment of the importance of afforestation and the Foundation’s role in promoting sustainable development. On this basis, all of the Foundation’s employees conduct practical field workshops on afforestation in educational institutions and with cooperative societies as well as farmers.
We decided to plant trees in one of the educational institutions located in Ait Oulal in the Meknes province, “Sakia El Hamra Cooperative School.” This is done through coordination with the director of the institution and all parents and guardians of the students. Under the slogan “Every student has a tree”.
As a first step, we delivered fruit trees (olive, carob, and vine) to the school.
On Monday morning, after arriving at the institution, I dug a group of holes in cooperation with the students, and then I conducted a workshop on the importance of afforestation, its benefits, and its role in preserving the environment and ensuring environmental balance and sustainability.
With the students’ songs and the national anthem, we began the planting process, and the tree was named after the student who helped plant it.Then we watered the planted trees
This activity coincided with the Foundation’s celebration of the Amazigh National Day and the recognition of heritage and cultural identity as a form of introducing, preserving and sustaining heritage.
In short, distributing fruit trees to schools in Morocco is an important initiative through which the High Atlas Foundation aims to preserve the environment and promote the culture of planting among younger generations. Fruit trees are an important source of air, water and biodiversity.
