India-based NGO hosts tree plantation event in Toronto to preserve environment
Toronto/IBNS: A tree plantation event was conducted by the Toronto Chapter of India-based NGO SPHEEHA at the headquarters and was participated by several dignitaries.
SPHEEHA (Society for Preservation of Healthy Environment and Ecology and Heritage of Agra) is a registered NGO that started its operations in Agra, India in 2006.
The event was attended by 50 community members who learned about the importance of preserving the environment as well as concepts of sustainable living.
Sergeant Jeremy Green of the Waterloo Regional Police Service also gave a tour of the Police Cruiser to the children and adults in attendance.
SPHEEHA has planted thousands of saplings across the globe and follows up with upkeep for three years to ensure their survival. About 84 per cent of all the trees planted by SPHEEHA members in the past 15 years have survived.
This year SPHEEHA conducted its biggest tree plantation drive by planting 55,000+ saplings in over 200 locations across 4 continents which included cities like Calgary, Vancouver, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Atlanta.
