As part of their commitment to environmental stewardship and community involvement, the graduating students of Pangasinan State University- Sta. Maria Campus enthusiastically took part in a tree planting activity on July 14, 2025, aimed at promoting sustainability, restoring green spaces, and raising awareness about the importance of caring for the environment.

By participating in this hands-on initiative, students not only help combat climate change and promote biodiversity but also develop a deeper connection with nature. Together, each sapling planted represents hope for a more sustainable future.

Under the guidance of our University President, Dr. Elbert Galas, this activity has not only enriched our campus ecosystem but has also empowered our students to become proactive guardians of our environment. Thank you for championing this cause and for believing in the ability of our students to make a lasting difference. Your leadership has planted seeds of change that will grow alongside these trees for generations to come.

Deepest appreciation is expressed for our Chief Executive Director, Dr. Oliver C. Caasi, for his persistent support who made this tree-planting initiative a success. Together, they have not only planted trees but also hope, awareness, and a legacy of sustainability.
