This 2023 academic year, we started our fig tree hunt and seed collection. As a driving force towards improving and diversifying our ODC, our students in the ODC CCA supported by our staff team, will be gathering and growing fig trees throughout the terms. Currently, we have had success in collecting fig seedlings which are being stored at our temporary nursery.
In January, we will be building a proper nursery with the help of the Brunei Nature Society and OneStop Borneo. To further promote our initiative, there will be talks given to our students by various fig tree specialists and UBD lecturer Professor Ulmar, to aid our fig tree hunt and propagation. Not only will this act as a centre for gathering key knowledge, but we hope it will inspire our students to develop and nurture our fig trees.
