"🌿💚 Celebrating World Wetlands Day 2026! 🌿💚
February 3,2026
The Inner Wheel Club of Central San Fernando La Union joined 43 volunteers from various organizations to plant 200 mangroves (bungalon and Bakauan lalake) along Baroro River, Bacnotan, La Union, organized by DMMMSU Environmental Concerns, Sustainability and Development (ECSD) Unit. This initiative highlights the importance of preserving wetland ecosystems, promoting sustainable management, and supporting local communities.
Mangroves provide crucial environmental services, including habitat for aquatic life, erosion control, and carbon sequestration. Empowered communities play a vital role in sustainable mangrove management, supporting livelihoods and environmental governance.
The club provided the snacks which every volunteer partook after the meaningful event.
Kudos to our partners and volunteers who made this event a success! 🙌
