the third category; to plant with the highest percentage of participating schools.
Therefore, in the following months the CCC participants planted trees with 100
94 schools and some community groups.

During the two Treelympics, more than 10.000
teachers and students received lessons on the

importance of trees prior to the planting actions.

The RRACC project implemented by the OECS Commission, The Inivershall
Rastafari Movement, Scotiabank and the Mustique Charitable Trust were the
main sponsors of the planting and education actions held in SVG.

In 2014 and 2015, the competition was held between 114 countries and St.
Vincent won gold in the category: The World’s most active country. Both victories
put the county on the world map as a country caring for the environment. The
Treelympics 2015 was carried out like the one in 2014. However, unlike in 2014
(where the trees planted were mostly Moringa trees) in 2015, a variety of fruit
trees like Soursop, Mango, Papaya and Cherries were planted. Over the two years,

3.500 trees were planted.
