Abstract

This community service activity aims to increase awareness and knowledge of students from SDN 2 Kemiling Permai about the important role of forests in daily life and the consequences of their destruction. Teaching is carried out using educational videos, group discussions, and hands-on activities in caring for plants. The main material covers the function of forests as oxygen providers, weather regulators, protectors of biodiversity, and regulators of the water cycle. To assess the effectiveness of the learning, pretests and posttests were conducted, which showed a significant increase in understanding among students. This activity not only instills values ​​​​of love for nature from an early age, but also encourages students to actively participate in preserving the environment. The results of the socialization indicate that planned education can increase ecological awareness and a sense of responsibility for conservation from an early age. This program aims to shape a generation that cares about and is responsible for environmental preservation in the future.
