Dream Forest is a tree-planting campaign aimed at building a greener planet. Leo Club of University of Moratuwa organized this event in collaboration with Lions Club of Negambo Horizon. We conducted 2 campaigns on the 2nd of November at Pansalathanna Forest Reserve and on the 3rd of November at Rambukoluwa Forest Reserve. The main goal of the campaign was to plant 500 endangered trees. The project was graced by Professor Sarath Kotagama, a respected environmentalist as our chief guest and his inspiring words motivated all of us to work even harder for this cause.
Volunteers from various backgrounds came together to make this effort a success showing the power of teamwork in protecting the environment. Over two days, our team of 12 Leos, 2 Lions, 15 prospects and 5 volunteers planted 500 plants. None of this would have been possible without the amazing support of DP Tree Book who was the technical supporter and the Planet Protectors Organization who generously donated the plants and tools.
The Department of Forest Conservation helped to plan this project and they guided us on selecting trees and the best planting methods. Transporting everything to these remote areas and unexpected weather were big challenges. But thanks to the dedication and teamwork of everyone involved we overcame them. On the first day, we prepared the sites and on the next day, we got to work planting. Each tree was planted ensuring it would grow strong.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Title Partner Planet Protectors Organization and our Technical Partner DP Tree Book for their invaluable support in making this initiative a success. Together, we’ve taken a significant step toward a greener future.
