Kwan with Sap Tai students
Students from Grade 3 and 4, Baan Sap Tai School, visited PATT Nursery to learn about trees and grow their own seedlings to plant in Khao Yai National Park. As now is the dry season in Thailand our tree planting activities are on hold until the start of the next rainy season. But all the other activities at the PATT Sap Tai nursery will continue, such as the education programme working in conjunction with a local school – Baan Sap Tai School. The students learnt about trees and forests and also joined the nursery activities which included seed sowing, pricking out and potting of seedlings.
