This was an idea and an initiative of one of our trip colleagues Dr Aruna Chaminda at Negombo Base Hospital. He was a participant of our Sobasiri hiking events and this Tree Planting programs not a new thing for him. Because he has done a big save for our mother nature by planting many trees in different areas.
He wanted our support to grab volunteers and get support from our Sobasiri trip participants, hence we have published a Facebook event and were able to gather around 20-30 people on that day. Everything was arranged by Dr Aruna and we just have to plant the Kumbuk trees on the river beds of Kelani River.
We started planting from Gurugalla bridge and walk upward of the river for about 2km, as I remember we planted more than 300 Kumbuk trees and all of us given our full energy to get this success on that day. We were also happy, as we received an opportunity to this useful event for mother nature.
