Leo Tree Plantation Challenge 2023


Leo Club of University of Colombo had organized ‘Leo Tree Plantation Challenge 2023’; the initiative for the program was taken by several International Leo Clubs. Through the great commitment and contribution of the committee members and the club members, the tree plantation program was successfully completed on the 14th of August at Balapokuna Rajamaha Viharaya in Pamankada.

We all know that trees are a valuable resource given to us
by nature. Nowadays, this forest resource is being destroyed as a side effect of globalization and technological advancement. All the inhabitants of the world have to face the bad consequences of deforestation. A major adverse effect of deforestation is global warming, which threatens the entire living community. Destruction of forests, which are sources of oxygen, will one day teach the value of trees to all living things.

Leo Club of University of Colombo, as a socially responsible association wanted to pass a message to the community to protect nature. We are confident that we will achieve our expectations through this plantation project in 2023. Various plant species were collected by us. Besides, we were able to spread this program in different areas through the relatives of our project members.

The overall project was evaluated through a video presentation and social media challenge which was a competition initiated by the host club providing several guidelines. As an internationally recognized organization, this joint project of Leo Clubs has been able to add value to society and develop the personality and leadership skills of the members.

“Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.”
