Celebrating 50,000 trees planted! 🌱🎉
Fantastic news – we’ve hit a major milestone with our 001-OxC project in North Sumatra! Thanks to YAGASU and local community groups, we have our first 50,000 mangrove trees in the ground. This immense effort covers 3.11 hectares in Pualau Kampai and 19 hectares in Pangkalan Siata, a small but important step in our ambitious journey to 2,305 hectares for 001-OxC.
After months of groundwork to determine optimal planting spots, consultations with experts from the villages, and comprehensive training sessions to empower the community group with the knowledge and skills required for effective mangrove restoration, it warms our heart to see the first (of many!) seedlings hit the soil. With the guidance of local experts and the invaluable knowledge of the community, we ensure that every tree thrives and is well-adapted for survival.
