All the La Salle schools in the Philippines are members of the Lasallian Institute for the Environment.  They have a project called ONE MILLION TREES AND BEYOND.

"The project aims to plant and nurture one million trees by the year 2011 as a response to the environmental challenges that the country faces today. Through a tree planting participated by over 400 volunteers, the project was launched on September, 2006 at the Mt. Palay-palay National Park, Maragondon, Cavite. Nurturing and maintenance is underscored to ensure that what has been planted will be protected and grow to maturity. Community partnership with people¿s organization plays a vital role in this thrust.Native trees, both indigenous and endemic, are planted to promote biodiversity, preserve endangered tree species and as matter of national pride.Planting sites are located in Luzon, Vizayas and Mindanao in uplands, urban areas, riversides and mangroves. The project is driven by the spirit of volunteerism. Funds to support the cost of seedlings, site preparation, handling, transportation, and other logistics are contributed by business and civic organizations, individuals and grants."
