On June 1st, 2012 Founougo Primary School planted 15 saplings and constructed the necessary fences to protect the young trees from freely roaming livestock in the community. Throughout the following week, the school planted an additional 50 saplings. Due to widespread agriculture in the region, Founougo falls victim to the by-products of deforestation such as drought, soil erosion, and the lack of shaded spaces. By planting saplings, the school is laying a foundation for the future of their community.
