Tree-planting in the Dominican Republic
The youth
division of SGI-Dominican Republic participated in the
Tree-planting Month promoted by the Ministry of Environment
and Natural Resources on October 22. About 110 SGI members
planted some 3,500 acacia trees in the Ozama River basin,
about 80 kilometers from the capital, Santo Domingo.
The local youth division has for some time been promoting
tree-planting projects as part of its environmental
preservation movement, earning high praise from the
Ministry. "To plant a tree is to plant life!" as one of the
participants put it; planting acacias one by one is a symbol
of hope for the future.
