Critically Endangered Native Tree Reintroduction (Schools)
Flagship launch: Hopea sangal (“Changi Tree”)
Reintroducing critically endangered native trees—starting in schools.
Target15SG is launching a schools-based programme to reintroduce critically endangered native tree species into campuses, beginning with Hopea sangal as our flagship proof point.
Why this is different: these trees were grown in school nurseries and are now ~3m tall and ready to be planted—turning school grounds into living biodiversity classrooms.
What the programme is
Target15SG works with schools and corporate partners to deploy critically endangered native trees on campus, pair planting with student stewardship, and document outcomes in a way that supports sponsor reporting and long-term care.
We are starting with Hopea sangal (“Changi Tree”) as the first flagship species—designed as the first of many critically endangered native species cohorts over time.
Why it matters
Biodiversity, lived learning, and a model that keeps growing.
Biodiversity uplift
reintroducing critically endangered native species into everyday school landscapes
Student stewardship
students learn propagation → planting → care (real-world ecology)
Future-ready model
a repeatable pipeline that can expand into additional critically endangered native species
Each planting becomes a multiplier: as trees mature and fruit, schools can propagate the next generation of seedlings and saplings for wider reintroduction.
What we have ready now
We currently have 200 Hopea sangal trees grown in participating school nurseries, now ~3m tall and ready for planting.
Deployment model:
4 trees per school
→ up to ~50 schools supported in the first wave.
​What schools receive
A practical, low-friction package that supports survival and learning
-
On-site planting by a professional crew (safe handling, correct staking, mulch, first watering)
-
Student/staff handover and a simple care checklist
-
On-site identification: plaque + QR code linking to the species story and acknowledgement
-
Photo pack and a concise programme note for school and partner communications
What sponsors enable
Sponsors underwrite deployment and stewardship so the programme is community-first and sponsor-neutral—built for long-term survival, not one-off events.
​
A sponsor-backed “School Pack” enables:
​
-
transport + planting logistics
-
consumables (stakes, ties, mulch, soil amendments)
-
identification signage + QR documentation
-
a practical aftercare rhythm that helps trees establish
Sponsorship options
Sponsor 1 school, a cluster, or the first wave.
​
-
School Sponsor: 1 school (4 trees)
-
Cluster Sponsor: 5–10 schools (20–40 trees)
-
Founding Sponsor: 25–50 schools (100–200 trees)
​
Recognition and deliverables can be tailored—from a simple acknowledgement to a consolidated impact summary across multiple schools.
​
How it works
01
Site selection with schools (safe, suitable, high-visibility planting locations)
03
Stewardship rhythm (simple checks, student involvement, survival focus)
05
Propagation pathway
(as trees mature, schools can grow future cohorts)
02
Planting & handover (staked, mulched, watered, documented)
04
Documentation (photos + brief note for school and partner comms)
FAQ
Is this sponsor-directed planting?
No. Sponsors underwrite delivery; Target15SG works with school leadership to select sites and steward care.
How many trees does each school receive?
We start with a simple unit: 4 Hopea sangal per school.
​Are the trees already available?
Yes. The first cohort includes 200 Hopea sangal grown in school nurseries, ~3m tall and ready for planting.
What do sponsors get for reporting?
​A clean, practical pack: planting documentation, photos, and a concise programme note suitable for ESG/CSR communications.
Can this expand beyond Hopea sangal?
Yes. Hopea sangal is the flagship launch, designed as the first of multiple critically endangered native species cohorts.
