“Trees are the best monuments that a man can erect to his own memory. They speak his praises without flattery, and they are blessings to children yet unborn.” – Lord Orrery

Future Bhubaneswar School (FBS) conducted a Tree Plantation Drive on 7 July, 2022 on the occasion of Vana Mahostav Observation Week.

The Tree Plantation Drive was aimed at combating environmental issues like deforestation, erosion of soil, global warming and enhancing the beauty and balance of the environment. It also helped to direct the mind of the students towards constructive activities with a positive outcome through the facilitation of contributing to the society.

Varieties of trees such as mango, jackfruit, breadfruit, sapodilla, gooseberry, neem, bamboo were planted in the school campus. All the participants took a pledge to do their best to contribute their mite to protect the mother earth environmental degradation. Our principal, Mr. Mathew Thomas exhorted the students to be ambassadors of environment regeneration programme.

Forty students from Class VIII and six teachers actively participated in this programme.

Such little steps taken together by the school and students will surely help in fostering strong mental and social health amongst today’s children so that they connect with their peers, their elders, their community and their environment.
