Organic Gardening and Green Education with SMAN 4 Malang

Dozens of youths were excited to dig small holes on the ground using the a slice of a bamboo which one end tapered. Some of them then placed two seeds of peanut in each hole while the others covered the holes with soils. They then enjoyed watering the soils despite of the dirts on their clothes.

The young people were students from a senior high school, SMAN 4 Malang, who had environmental education activities at Petungsewu Wildlife Education Center (P-WEC) on 14th and 15th November 2012. The learned about organic gardening, waste management, and introduction to indigenous trees. They were very excited following the activities because most of them never went gardening in a natural place.

Apart from the educational activities, the students also had fun outbound. One of the students stated, "It is really great to have fun in P-WEC while learning about environmental education and nature conservation". The teachers who guided them agreed that P-WEC is a good place to learn about environmental education and nature conservation through experiential and fun ways.
