On 18th May 2026, the Environmental Club of INES Ruhengeri organized a tree planting activity in different campus gardens as part of its continued commitment to maintaining a green, healthy, and favorable learning environment.

Over the years, the Environmental Club has played an important role in preserving the natural beauty of the campus through environmental conservation activities, cleanliness campaigns, and awareness initiatives that encourage students and staff to protect nature. The club’s efforts continue to contribute to making the campus one of the most attractive and conducive places for learning and teaching.

The newly planted tree species are expected to strengthen the campus ecosystem, improve air quality, and preserve the green environment that supports the well-being of the university community. Through such initiatives, the club continues to promote environmental responsibility among students while reinforcing the institution’s vision of sustainability.

The activity was followed by a handover ceremony between the outgoing and incoming student committees of the Environmental Club. The ceremony was attended by the Vice Chancellor, who commended the club for its remarkable contribution to the wellness and attractiveness of the campus.

She also encouraged the newly elected committee to maintain the momentum by introducing more initiatives that support sustainability and preserve the natural environment of the institution.
