Green ferns scientifically known as "bryophytes" wildly grown along the trek.

On Sunday cloudy morning, the 4th September 2009, BEACA students were assigned to do jungle trekking at Lucky Garden area. “Lucky Garden” is situated in Kampong Sungai Tilong, approximately 20 minutes drive from UBD (meeting point). Began the activity Dr Irene divide us into 3 groups consisting of about 5 person per groups (in my group are myself, Iemelda, Kim, Hafidz and lastly Azmy as the path leader). The journey start at around 6.45 am.

Brunei Darussalam are filled with lots of natural heritage and always been green throughout the year. Parts of the world that still holds its natural beauty and secrecy. Forest has been a major contributor of the world processes, example production of oxygen, medicines, foods, preventions of erosion, home of vast species of living things and more. There is still more of its “filling” that has not yet discovered. So, we should remain its “freshness”. Being friends with the forest, not destroying them.

During the activity, it taught us the leadership on how to handle any situations that we might encountered in the forest to prepare us of the worse case scenario that high probability might happened during any activity that involve walking in the deep forest. “Team work” is very crucial since the treks are slippery and tough. In this activity, it strengthened our “bonds” and taught us the meaning of friendship.

The aims of the activity are to emphasis our awareness on the environment, by gathering the rubbish that was left over on few spots of the trek by irresponsible individuals. Plastic bottles are non-biodegradable where it cannot decompose and lead to pollution. Plastics, bottles and tin can be recycle, reused again rather than wasting them. So, we collect them and divide them by their specification.

Doesn’t matter when and where, we should be responsible and care of our remaining natural forest all the time. Pick up any rubbish especially plastics and throw it to the nearest bin. “be responsible”
