The GFoundation will kick off its tree planting for 2023 on Sunday June 4th at its headquarters, marking the onset of World Environment Week.

This year we will join environmentalists around the world by planting our 9000th tree, a figure that will only increase in the future,” said Winston Gereluk, President of the Global Foundation for Social Harmony and Sustainable Development (GF).

“We will continue to refine our planting techniques, as well as our maintenance program, to improve tree survival and health, particularly for future large-scale plantings.”

This year’s tree planting by volunteers will take place on wetland restoration sites, pilot & experimental plots, nurseries, two different watersheds and in moderately sized fields

Volunteers will also plant trees in some of the twelve GF Groves established to commemorate special individuals or organisations.

Gereluk was critical of the plethora of tree planting schemes that are undertaken without any reliable reporting of survival rates.

“Biodiversity & climate change goals will only be met through reliable, targeted actions and measurable results.” he warned. “The widespread lack of such measures highlights the need to deepen our knowledge about methods that improve the survival of planted trees everywhere”

Gereluk invited volunteers to confirm their participation a.s.a.p., adding they should plan to stay for the campfire social that will follow.
