This year, 200 associates from Laguna Phuket teamed up with 50 community members and students from Phuket Kindergarten School in this fun-filled and meaningful activity.

In addition to tree planting, the resort organised a community-service activity by hosting lunch for 70 seniors at Phuket Elderly Home as a way of celebrating the initiative’s milestone.

Supported by the initiative’s strategic partners such as Marine and Coastal Preserving Group (Paklog), Mangrove Station 23 (Phuket) and Paklog Municipality, this 10th edition of Laguna Phuket’s annual tree -planting event was part of its community initiative to raise awareness of global warming and help build greener communities.

To date, Laguna Phuket has planted 25,000 mangrove saplings in Phuket and neighbouring provinces, with more than 1,000 associates and 450 community members participating over the years.

The annual activity is one of many initiatives set up by Laguna Phuket to support its wider strategic goal of environment preservation according to Banyan Tree Global Foundation’s worldwide guideline for each property within the group to plant at least 2,000 trees in each respective community each year.
