Get ready to lace up your sneakers and embark on an extraordinary journey! Let’s join us for a community event to build forests and create more oxygen for our own home just by walking every day.  

Details: 

From 24 June – 14 July, all RMIT alumni, staff, and students are encouraged to join “Walking to Plant Trees”, in which they will track their daily steps via an app named Uprace. The total walking distance accumulated by all participants in 3 weeks will be exchanged into funds for reforestation efforts. For every 10km walked, we will plant one tree at Binh Chau Phuoc Buu Nature Reserve with the maximum number of 1,000 trees will be planted. In Hanoi, we will plant 30 trees at Phuc Tien Primary School.
