Student Activities

Participant Samantha Wapnick organized a small reforestation project while participating in the CLS Program in 2010. The project began after she and other CLS students met with officials about environmental issues. Noting a need for reforestation, Samantha collected donations that were used to purchase more than 100 trees in an arboretum that houses the water source for the Brantas River, a primary water source for Java. Samantha and three other CLS students went to the arboretum and planted 70 trees with local school children and had a discussion with them about the importance of trees for water and survival.
