North Valley College Foundation, Inc. (NVCFI), through its College of Social Work, conducted a Tree Planting Activity from March 28 to April 2, 2026, in Barangay Singao, Kidapawan City, as part of its celebration of World Social Work Day 2026. The initiative brought together Social Work students and other stakeholders to promote environmental responsibility, community participation, and sustainable development through collective environmental action.
Beyond its environmental contribution, the activity provided students with experiential learning opportunities to understand the connection between environmental sustainability, community welfare, and social development. It also strengthened collaboration among the academic community and local stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of shared responsibility in protecting natural resources and building sustainable communities.
The initiative supports Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life on Land) by highlighting the importance of environmental conservation, biodiversity protection, and the sustainable management of terrestrial ecosystems. It also reflects NVCFI’s commitment to environmental stewardship, community engagement, and integrating sustainability principles into social work education, encouraging future social workers to become advocates for the protection and preservation of natural resources.
