The Little FSC Stewards, aged between 4 and 12, started the day early and immersed themselves in an artistic adventure in Karura Forest. The highlight of the day was painting the iconic FSC logo, which symbolizes their commitment to responsible forest management and sustainability.
As well as showcasing their artistic talents, the young participants also demonstrated their commitment to environmental conservation. While the lower primary students painted beautiful renditions of the FSC logo, the upper primary students chose to read short essays they had written about the importance of trees.
The Art in the Park event aimed not only to nurture the students' passion for art, but also to deepen their understanding of responsible forest management and conservation. In the serene setting of Karura Forest, these young stewards proved to be champions in action, combining artistic expression with a commitment to a greener future.
FSC Forest Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of sustainable forest management and the critical role forest stewards play in combating climate change and biodiversity loss. The Art in the Park event at Karura Forest was a shining example of the spirit of this campaign, highlighting the proactive engagement of the younger generation in fostering a sustainable and harmonious relationship with nature.
