๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ง, ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ฃ๐, ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ โ Learners of Class 607-SIKLAB of the Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) Academyโs Specialized Course on Environmental Law Enforcement (SC-ELE) from Region VIII demonstrated their commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. The class, composed of 27 learners, donated essential garden tools to Carranglan Central School in September 2025.
The donation included three trash bins, two shovels, four rakes, 20 garden forks, 20 garden trowels, 10 sprinklers, and nine garden hoes. These tools will support the school in maintaining its green spaces, strengthening its solid waste management practices, and instilling environmental consciousness among pupils at an early age.
In a collective act of sacrifice and solidarity, the learners agreed to forgo their morning and afternoon snacks for one week to raise funds for the purchase of the garden tools. This gesture highlighted not only their dedication to the course requirements but also their genuine desire to give back to the host community of the ENR Academy.
This initiative formed part of Class 607-SIKLABโs Communication, Education, and Public Awareness (CEPA) project, which focused on promoting sustainable practices through solid waste management, climate change adaptation, and tree planting activities. CEPA projects were integrated into the SC-ELE curriculum, ensuring that participants gained not only technical enforcement skills but also the values of collaboration, social responsibility, and environmental advocacy.
The 7th Batch of the Specialized Course on Environmental Law Enforcement, which ran from July 7 to August 3, 2025, equipped frontliners with the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundation to address violations in forestry, wildlife, mining, and other critical environmental laws. Beyond law enforcement, the program emphasized community partnerships as a cornerstone of effective and lasting environmental protection.
Through efforts like this donation, Class 607-SIKLAB underscored that protecting the environment begins with empowering communities. By investing in the next generation of learners, they carried forward the Academyโs mission of molding competent, responsible, and compassionate stewards of the environment. # # #
