The Leuser Nature School provides award winning, conservation focussed, middle school education for 33 children living in rural, forest-edge communities in Langkat District.
On National Tree Planting Day in Indonesia, students planted 90 seedlings which had been grown in the school nursery, to provide an educational resource for growth monitoring and phenology.
The day was created in 2008 by the President at the time. He asked the people of Indonesia to plant at least one tree, and later this program became called One Man One Tree.
National Tree Planting Day serves as a celebration for all Indonesians to appreciate the great benefits that trees provide them, including clean air, valuable resources, a beneficial ecosystem, and a lasting legacy for future generations.
By engaging the students in National Tree Planting Day, they are educated at an early age about the importance of trees for the environment and for their own health and wellbeing.
Students continue to grow seedlings at home and bring one new tree seedling to the school nursery every month as payment for their tuition.
