As a part of Australia’s National Tree Day, BAPS centers in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth participated in tree plantation drives to make a positive difference to the environment.
A total of over 200 volunteers and their families joined with local government departments and other charitable and non-profit organizations at the various sites selected by the local authorities in each city to dig pits and plant trees. These plantation drives also educated individuals about the world around them, and the need to make our environment capable of sustaining itself.
Despite the very cold winter weather, young and old participants helped to plant over 5,700 native trees and shrubs all together and felt a sense of ownership and contribution to building a sustainable society.
