For Datadot Technologies – a company intent on becoming increasingly responsive to the natural environment - this initiative forms part of a much bigger project where they plan to plant 250 trees this year in an effort to offset their carbon footprint incurred in the previous year.
For the Lions this initiative contributed to their global target of a million trees planted for the year. They have already planted 8.6 million trees worldwide.
The event was a fun-filled family day with the children of Datadot and the Lions club representatives joining in and learning more about the importance of planting trees.
