🌱 Tree Plantation Drive – World Environment Day 2026 🌱
On 5th June 2026, in observance of World Environment Day, the Ecological Concerns Department of the Karnataka Central Diocese, in collaboration with the Impact Environmental Group, Bengaluru, organized a significant Tree Plantation Drive, reaffirming its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable living.
The initiative was inaugurated by Rt. Rev. Dr. Vincent Vinod Kumar, Bishop of Karnataka Central Diocese, who planted the first saplings at CSI Holy Trinity Church, Bengaluru, symbolizing the Church’s dedication to caring for God’s creation and preserving the environment for future generations.
As part of this mission, tree plantation activities will be conducted throughout the month of June across various KCD churches, institutions, and mission centers, demonstrating our collective responsibility to protect, nurture, and restore the environment.
In his message, the Bishop emphasized that environmental conservation requires practical action rather than mere discussion, urging all congregations and institutions to actively participate in safeguarding God’s creation.
Together, let us plant hope, nurture life, and build a greener tomorrow for generations to come.
