Tree planting as a school project

Here in Changwu, Shaanxi, a group of school children came to help out with pit digging along a steep slope. They helped by tamping down the edges of the newly dug pits. The slope was totally devoid of trees.

In Yongshou, Shaanxi, these 14-year olds are planting pine seedlings in pits already dug. They brought the seedlings.
