Greening Waterways: Planting for a Sustainable Future
Project Description
To commemorate World Environment Day on June 5th, Kansarmen SL Foundation, together with the University of Kelaniya, implemented a large-scale tree planting initiative in Puttalam District and Jayasirigama with the aim of promoting water conservation, protecting ecosystems, and enhancing the natural environment.
Location
Puttalam District and Kurunegala District Jayasirigama
Reason to choose this project
This project was selected to commemorate World Environment Day by taking meaningful action toward addressing two pressing needs: water conservation and environmental restoration. The Puttalam District and Jayasirigama (Higure Wewa) areas were identified as priority locations due to their water stress and the importance of safeguarding natural ecosystems. Planting Kumbuk and Mee trees directly supports water retention, reduces soil erosion, and strengthens biodiversity, while Ehela and Apple Masan enhance the aesthetic and urban greenery of the city landscape. The initiative not only contributes to long-term water security but also raises community awareness and participation in environmental sustainability.
Activities We Have Done
Planted 200 trees across key locations, including Puttalam Army Camp, Divisional Secretariats, and selected urban areas.
Kumbuk and Mee plants were chosen for their proven role in water conservation and ecosystem protection.
Ehela and Apple Masan plants were planted to enhance the beauty and greenery of the city landscape.
At Jayasirigama (Higure Wewa), 30 Kumbuk plants were strategically planted around the lake to protect the water source, reduce evaporation, and preserve the ecosystem for future generations.
Community Contribution
Parents, university students, and local authorities actively participated by supporting planting activities and mobilizing resources to ensure the success of the initiative.
This joint effort strengthened environmental sustainability, water security, and community collaboration in building a greener and healthier Sri Lanka
