Central Philippines State University-Main Campus planted a total of 625 assorted native tree seedlings and collected four tons of solid waste from its two-day environmental activities last June 18-19.

 The university’s Natural Resources and Environmental Management Services (NREMS), headed by Director Gregorio D. Predo, tallied the output as the institution’s contribution to the City of Kabankalan’s 25th Environment Week Celebration.

 Under its “Oplan Tanom” in partnership with the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) and the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO), the university personnel, on-the-job training interns from the College of Agriculture and Forestry, and Philippine Army personnel from the 94th Infantry Brigade conducted reforestation activities at the newly established Spiritual and Wellness Park located at the 3-King Hills, CPSU Main Campus.

 In contribution to the city-wide clean-up campaign by the Local Government Unit, four tons of solid waste gathered during the CPSU clean-up drive were properly hauled and disposed of at the Kabankalan City Sanitary Landfill through the assistance of the Brgy. Camingawan garbage vehicle.

 The transplanted seedlings and collected waste are testaments to the university's commitment to upholding the spirit of environmental stewardship, fostering inter-agency collaboration for a shared purpose, and embracing its zeal for sustainable practices and ecological protection.

 The active participation of CPSU’s faculty and staff, led by the top management and the NREMS, is a concrete example of the university’s belief in leading by example—inspiring students and the community to engage with ecologically sound programs, extending civil service beyond administrative and academic walls, and manifesting environmentally concerned citizenry.
