The Seniors Class went to Mount Kanlaon National Park ( MKNP) for a tree planting activity last September 19, 2008.

The activity was organized as an output in the lesson of Economics regarding “Land and Natural Resources”. The activity aimed to combine the actual experience of communing with nature and becoming instrumental towards the advancement of a unified of the DENR- PENRO in caring, conserving and preserving the environment. The lesson and the activity provided a higher level of understanding and awareness regarding the current state of the environment in Negros, interrelation of forest ecosystem and its implication to the survival of the people.

The activity also gave the seniors a moment to reflect upon their lifestyle and habits, and contemplate on their commitment to their environment.

The travel started from BTTHS at 6:30 A.M. and reached Mambukal at 7:30 A.M.. A Science officer, a butterfly expert and DENR Forest Guide, medics led the travel to the DENR Warag station. The seniors were well organized with team guides and sweepers, team facilitators for group dynamics and teachers. After the tree planting , the seniors went back to Mambucal Resort and enjoyed the dipping pool, swimming pool, the river, boating and butterfly garden. Mambucal Resort had no visitors on that day and seniors enjoyed the place all to themselves.
