Van Mahotsav at Whitehall
School
A
tree plantation drive was successfully conducted on 21st of July at Whitehall
School as a collaborative initiative with the Forest Department. The event
aimed to promote environmental awareness and foster a sense of ecological
responsibility among students.
The
drive was led by Mr. Erickson, School Director, and Ms. Manral, Principal, in
coordination with Mr. Rautela, Ranger – Bhakra Kendra Range. The event
witnessed enthusiastic participation from the School Cabinet. Together, the
participants planted a variety of indigenous tree saplings across the school
campus. The Forest Department provided technical guidance and saplings,
ensuring that the drive adhered to sustainable plantation practices. This joint
effort not only contributed to the greening of the school environment but also
instilled a strong environmental ethic in the young minds involved. Whitehall
School actively promotes environmental responsibility and awareness through
regular tree plantation drives. These initiatives are designed to instill a
sense of ecological stewardship in students by involving them directly in
greening their surroundings. By planting and caring for trees, students learn
the importance of biodiversity, conservation, and sustainable living—corevalues
that the school integrates into its environmental education efforts.
