This visual documentation served as a testament to their involvement and commitment to the activity.
After planting their saplings, students had the opportunity to share their experiences with their classmates.
They spoke about various aspects of the activity, including:
Selection Process: How they chose their sapling and why.
Planting Experience: The challenges and joys they encountered while planting their sapling.
