The SCJ Holdings Limited (SCJH) in fulfilling its mission has embarked on its ‘Navel String’ Tree Planting Project. This tree-planting project entails the planting of One Million Trees across the island over the next four (4) years. Its primary objectives are as follows:
- To increase food production
- To provide a source of fruits to support agro-processing
- To provide employment and culture change in schools and communities
- To reduce the country’s carbon footprint
- To increase the country’s stock of lumber trees
- To protect watersheds
- To support the national climate change initiative
To ensure that our target planting One Million Trees over the next four (4) years is met, we have engaged the help youth clubs, schools, civic organizations and communities. Along with the help from these non-profit organization, the SCJH is confident that the tree planting initiative will garner much-needed attention from other organizations to sustain the project. Educational programmes will also be carried out to inform the public about the project and how they can get involved.
The SCJH officially launched its ‘Navel String’ Tree Planting Project on Tuesday, February 17, 2015. For more information on the SCJH’s ‘Navel String’ Tree Planting Project see the links below:
