On cloudy Sunday morning, KLU participated in a tree planting project organized by Eco Warriors and MBSA sponsored by Maxis.
Before we began to plant, we were thought how to do it:
- First clear the hole dug previously to put the sapling in.
- Second fill up the hole with soil and make sure it doesn’t exceed the height of the roots as the root flare need to breathe.
- Then compress the soil to hold everything together and put fertilizers around the tree.
- Lastly, put a tree guard around the tree to protect from wind.
There were more than 400 volunteers and a total of 1800 trees planted.
In total we managed to plant 10 trees on that day. It was a meaningful and joyous experience for us.
Now that we know how to plant a tree and what is required, we will plan to plant more trees in the future.
Below are some picture when we were there...
