ASEZ Members From the National Autonomous University of Mexico Planted Trees Around the National Canal

On August 20, the Church of God University Student Volunteer Group [ASEZ] members from the National Autonomous University of Mexico volunteered to plant trees around the National Canal. For about 2,000 years, the National Canal was a major transportation route connecting cities. However, in the 20th century, rapid urban development led to the cessation of boat operations, and it has been transformed into an urban ecological park. The Mexican government has been making significant efforts to protect the canal’s natural environment.

To further green the National Canal, around 50 participants, including Korean and local ASEZ members and officials from the Mexico City Government Secretariat, joined the activity. ASEZ provided saplings, while the Secretariat provided the necessary tools such as shovels and wheelbarrows. Following the guidance of the Secretariat officials, the members planted a total of 252 trees along the canal’s walking path for over two hours, starting at 11 a.m.

ASEZ member Maria Fernanda said, “I feel proud that we can protect green spaces in the city by planting trees. I hope this activity raises more awareness about the importance of nature conservation.” Kim Da-young, another member, said, “There were many considerations, such as removing gravel from the soil and spacing the trees properly. I’m very happy to see the walking path filled with green trees for the citizens to enjoy.”
