Continuing the initiative of the OIC President Arthur G. Ibañez on 5,000 Trees Project, the College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE) and the College of Teacher Education (CTE) faculty members and student-leaders planted bamboo seedlings in the vicinity of the campus on September 21, 2024.
Led by the Campus Coordinator for the Tree Planting and Greening Project and the CCJE Dean, Mr. Ohlie Malazzab, the group planted a total of 180 bamboo seedlings. The breakdown of seedlings planted includes 60 Giant Bamboo, 60 Iron Bamboo and 60 Yellow Killing.
This initiative not only contributes to the university’s environmental sustainability goals but also supports the region's greening efforts, reinforcing CSU-Gonzaga’s commitment to ecological conservation.
The tree-planting event is part of the ongoing efforts to meet the target of 5,000 trees under Dr. Ibañez's leadership, underscoring the importance of environmental stewardship in CSU’s mission to create a greener, more sustainable campus.
This movement in the campus started in 2023 wherein the six colleges likewise conducted tree planting activities in the campus in support to the project of the OIC President.
