World Forestry Day

The Ecowarriors Malaysia are having a planting day to plant a whopping 500 saplings at the North Selangor Peat Swamp Forest on World Forestry Day, which is, apparently, 21 March 2009. Details are as follow:

Date: 21 March 2009
Time: 8.00 a.m. - 12.00 p.m.
Location: North Selangor Peat Swamp Forest (NSPSF)

Advice to Volunteers

We'll be planting in an open field so volunteers are advised to:

• have breakfast beforehand
• wear long pants that can get dirty (because they will)
• bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.

Please also bring:

• drinking water (in a refillable bottle)
• pair of sturdy shoes (not open-toed)
• an empty cardboard box (to carry seedlings in).

Getting to NSPSF

1. Get on the North-South PLUS Highway and head towards Ipoh.
2. Exit at Bukit Tagar (EXIT 119).
3. Go straight until you reach the end of the road (a T-junction). Turn left.
4. This is the road where the planting site is located. Please look out for the temporary sign that we will put up next to the planting site.
