On Saturday 22nd April eighteen MCC students joined in the activities at the Chengdu Urban Forest Project, held at Lioncity Park and organised by the British Chamber Southwest. Two hundred people came together to support the project which aimed to plant trees at the site to promote sustainability in an urban environment. All the equipment and trees were freely available for anyone who wished to take part. The students were given a demonstration of how to dig the hole deep enough and where to plant their tree. Each student planted their own tree and put a name tag on it. We also planted a large tree on behalf of the school. It was good to see our students outside enjoying the countryside. Their enthusiasm was a credit to their commitment to the task they had been set. The weather was wonderfully sunny and the event was a great example of the Chengdu community coming together to highlight the importance of trees in our environment. It highlighted to the MCC students how team work and working together can achieve great things. It will be interesting to revisit the site in the future to see how our trees are getting along and to celebrate MCC’s involvement in such a worthwhile project.
