Sto. Nino Integrated School Senior High School students participated in a Forest Conservation Themed Youth Camp. The two-day immersion program aimed to deepen youth’s connection with nature, particularly forest – the Sierra Madre.

A holistic program was developed which involved a physical tour of the reforestation program in the Southern Sierra Madre (Tanay, Rizal), guided reflections, creative expressions to deepen environmental and forest stewardship of the youth. This youth forest conservation advocacy activity is part of the Empowered Community for the Forest 2.0 Project of the Miriam College Environmental Studies Institute and Forest Foundation Philippines.
