Tree of Life” Coconut-Planting Initiative – Lions Club of Matara Excellence
Based on a proposal by Multiple District Chairperson Lion Shana Jayalath, and in honor of the appointment of District Governor Lion Jagath Chandana Weerasinghe (MJF, MAF, JP), the Lions Club of Matara Excellence launched its first official project of the Lionistic Year under the Lions International global cause “Nature.”
On this day, club members successfully planted 100 coconut trees in Puhulwella village, Yatiyana, Matara, at a total cost of USD 133.48. Coconut palms were chosen for their ability to absorb carbon dioxide, enrich the environment, and provide future economic opportunities.
Expected benefits within five years include:
• Protection of the environment and improved air quality
• Support for the national coconut supply
• Rural income generation from coconuts, leaves, husks, charcoal, and coconut honey
• New employment opportunities for local communities
