The exercise was part of the Scotia Foundation’s Trees for Life initiative, which is aimed at planting 1000 trees in schools in partnership with the United Way of Jamaica, the Forestry Department and the National Secondary Students Council. The project, which was launched on Earth Day, encourages Jamaican students to be champions of the environment and supports the national strategies for climate change preparation.
