Abstract

Community engagement plays a crucial role in promoting environmental awareness and biodiversity conservation. This paper describes a community service program conducted by the Laboratory of Forest Harvesting, Faculty of Forestry, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), in Compartment 32 of HWD Tlogotuwung, Blora Regency. The program, titled “Development of an Environmental Education Park for Local Biodiversity Conservation,” involved 122 participants, including elementary school students from SD Negeri 1 Getas and SD Negeri 1 Tlogotuwung, teachers, lecturers, university volunteers, and representatives of partner organizations. The program included site surveys, collaborative planning, and the collective planting of local species such as Calliandra, Indigofera, jackfruit, avocado, and other fruit trees. The CarbonNature Foundation and the Faculty of Forestry UGM supported the program. Students demonstrated curiosity about the tree species in their surroundings and actively participated during and after the planting activities. Reflection sessions also indicated positive attitudes toward biodiversity conservation. The program further strengthened collaboration among universities, local communities, schools, and environmental organizations. The program directly contributed to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4, 13, 15, and 17. In conclusion, the development of the Environmental Education Park can contribute not only to biodiversity conservation but also to enhancing environmental education and fostering environmental awareness among future generations.
