A knowledge and resource-sharing environmental organization that produces impactful outreach and conservation programmes to encourage greener urban spaces.
Example of key projects
Free Tree Society Kuala Lumpur (FTS) is known most widely for their initiative in providing free trees and plants to the public. Leveraging the attraction of getting trees and plants for free, FTS holds workshops to educate the public on Malaysia’s native trees and plant species as they dirty their hands with soil and planting. The trees, planted in these environmental stewardship workshops, are then given away for free to the public. To date, FTS has recruited over 20,000 environmental stewards and given away 40,000 plants. This sustainable model has allowed them to educate the public on the importance of conservation, sustainable solutions and green living. It has also opened up a space for them to touch on topics related to environmental stewardship, waste management, rainwater harvesting, gardening, and biodiversity, among others.
