His presentation covered various aspects of plant life, correct tree planting methods, and the current state of Indonesia’s forests. In addition to the lecture, he engaged with students by answering their questions about plant life and environmental conservation. The session also included a hands-on tree planting activity, where each participant had the chance to plant their own seedling and take it home.
Following the practical session, a Token of Appreciation was presented to the speaker by Valentine Shen Handoko, Vice Chair of iCare. The workshop concluded with a group photo session involving all participants, the speaker, and the committee, followed by the completion of attendance confirmation and feedback forms.
