Hi everyone
MBSA helds tree planting activity each month for the program of Tree For Life. This month, the activity was held at the LKSA tol. I amazed by the huge number of participants. During the tree planting, we brought two local species of Dipterocarpaceae: one tree of Dryobalanops aromatica and two trees of Dryobalanops oblongifolia. For local name, these two species are respectively called Kapur and Keladan.
