On September 11, 2025, as part of our continuing commitment under the C3P3 Project (Care for Communities and Creation – Pillar 3), the Ateneo Center for Environment and Sustainability conducted a collection of seedlings in Upper Calarian; a vital step in sustaining our upland reforestation efforts in partner communities. 🌱
