We, the Green Panthers, started a tree planting initiative in celebration of ISB’s 70th anniversary as a school committed to sustainability and raising awareness on environmental issues. To achieve these goals we are asking the ISB community to help plant 70 trees on campus and at the EWC in celebration of our school’s long rich history. In addition, we have collaborated with One Tree Planted to plant even more trees around Thailand.
Living creatures all around the world depend on trees to survive. However, trees are being cut down and forests are getting smaller, which affects animals’ habitats and our livelihoods. Join us by purchasing a tree of your choice with us, and contribute to a larger cause as well.
The Tree Sponsorship Form is here.
All sponsors will be recognized with a plaque beside their tree and a permanent Dedication Board on campus.
Saplings and Medium trees will be planted on campus. The large trees are destined for the beautiful surroundings of the Environmental Wilderness Center and are vital to the ongoing important conservation work there. EWC Director, Elliott Bowyer says:
“The mission of the EWC is to bring students into the outdoors and pose challenges in a real world setting. The development of environmentally sustainable systems ensures that we are a lighthouse project for educating not only our community, but also the communities that we impact in this area.
As the guardians of this land it is our responsibility to maintain and enhance the environment. To this end, our established wetlands and protected forest areas continue to attract wildlife back to this area, creating and reestablishing ecosystems that flourish.
As we lose established trees, we lose a critical part of the ecosystem. Coupled with our scheduled planting of young sapling trees, the planting of mature trees back into this environment will ensure that diversity remains within the ecosystem, and this area flourishes under our guardianship.”
