Bringing Mangroves to Life: School-Based Nursery
28 students from Standards 1–3, along with 5 teachers and 2 PITSB (sponsors) volunteers, participated in a session to set up a mini mangrove nursery at SK Kampung Baru Pasir Gogok. The students and teachers prepared soil bags, labelled, and planted 42 mangrove propagules (seedlings). This activity allows students to understand the importance of mangrove nurseries as part of mangrove conservation initiative and how to care for the plants to ensure they grow healthily.
One month later, a brief monitoring was conducted and the propagules showed positive growth. 30 more propagules were planted, bringing the total to 72.
