Planting trees at karura forest

I have always felt that it is our duty to give back to nature because we've taken so much from it. I was presented with an opportunity to do this, by planting trees in the Karura forest, whose greenery has been severely depleted. Before we did this, we learnt about the necessity of trees in the forrest, and how the irrigation systems contribute towards keeping the forest healthy. Due to the increasing demands for space by the industrial world, beautiful natural scenery was destroyed in order to create more areas for companies to build upon. This deforestation has led to the Karura forest becoming thinner than it ever was. I have taken the initiative to plant trees in this forest in the hopes that the Karura forest will one day return to its former glory, and that it will once again thrive with animals and trees.

I planted my ten trees in the forest in the hope that it will be the start of the reforestation of the forest. I feel that by seizing this opportunity to help the forest, I have grown in my mentality towards nature, and i have learned to appreciate the small things which make the world a beautiful place. I feel that now that I have gone through this experience, I wish to continue doing this regularly. I feel that if everyone made this small effort towards saving our planet, then we would be living in a very different, natural, and beautiful place.
