Seas of Trees together with SUP Asia, local students and teacher volunteers were able to plant 1000 mangrove trees in Kampot, Cambodia.

With this Project we were able to provide an environmental education opportunity for youth in Kampot to learn about the local mangrove ecosystem, to visit and explore mangrove forests and participate in a service learning experience to plant trees in the mangrove forest project and prepare seedlings for the nursery for future planting.

The need for the project was evident. The students engaged in experiential learning which is not offered through school curriculum. Students enjoyed their time in the project and took pride in their efforts. These one thousand trees will help improve the livelihood of the fishermen, help prevent coastal erosion, provide carbon sequestration, and support a delicate ecosystem for all living beings today and in the future.
