The Bacolod City Host Lions Club planted two hundred Molave, Odling, Bacan, Iron wood (Balayong), and assorted fruit-bearing trees in Barangay Marcelo, municipality of Calatrava, Negros Occidental last Monday, according to a press release from the organization.
Twenty-seven members of the club, led by its president, Jang Yap, participated in the tree planting project at the remote mountainous village.
Lions serve to sustainably protect and restore the environment. They believe that improving our community through planting trees contributes to cleaner air and healthier environments.
Environment is one of the 5 global causes of Lions Clubs International that international president Dr. Patti Hill is actively promoting.
The Bacolod City Host Lions Club has 85 members and meets every 3rd Thursday. Lions clubs are a group of men and women who identify needs within the community and work together to fulfill those needs.
Lions Clubs International is the largest membership-based service club organization in the world. Its 1.4 million members are serving locally and globally to help take on some of the biggest challenges facing humanity.*
