Approaching the commemoration of the 59th anniversary, as well as an effort to preserve the environment, Universitas Brawijaya planted a number of trees. The activity entitled Tetenger Bumi was held on Saturday (12/18/2021) at Telon Alas Magersari Kedampul, Duwet Village, Tumpang District, Malang Regency.
Tetenger Bumi is a tree planting activity initiated by the Faculty of Computer Science. According to Dr. Wayan Firdaus Mahmudy S.Si., M.T., Ph.D as the Head of UB’s 59th Anniversary Committee, he hopes that this activity can be adopted by various institutions. “The hope is that, after the activities are completed, there will be a legacy left, namely a living tree. Said this as a start, to provoke other parties to carry out similar activities,” he said.
Tetenger Bumi, according to Tibyani, S.T., M.T. as Chief Executive, is a community service program to preserve water, trees and the environment. “This year, the target for Tetenger Bumi is 1000 trees, consisting of forest plants and fruit trees from the archipelago,” explained the Lecturer of the Faculty of Communication Sciences.
