ABOUT 100 volunteers took part in a mangrove tree planting event at the Lekir Forest Reserve in Sitiawan.
Comprising local community members, school students, non-governmental organisation members and government officials, the event saw some 1,000 mangrove saplings (Rhizophora apiculata) being planted in a degraded area earlier this month. Spearheaded by Friends of Lekir Sitiawan Mangrove Forest, the event was a collaboration with the state Forestry Department and Global Environment Centre (GEC).
