Our students planted a tree

Five cigar trees nurtured by the Erdőtelki Arboretum were planted by the students of MATE Károly Róbert Campus in the courtyard of the Károly Róbert Student Hotel. The initiators of the initiative were the staff of the International Relations Office - Dóra Póka and Barbara Tátrainé Bíró. The foreign students studying on campus were immediately in favor of the initiative, because they really liked the idea of ​​commemorating their years at Gyöngyös in this way.

By the way, tree planting is not only a nice gesture and a good community-building activity that symbolizes cooperation for the Earth, but also a very useful thing. In addition to the fact that trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen during photosynthesis, they feed the earth, they serve as a habitat for many animals and protect the soil from wind erosion.

One by one, the trees were placed in areas that the students pass by every day. The campus staff dug the pits together with the students and then planted the cigar trees together. Even the occasional summer rain did not deter them.
