Hard Rock Hotel Bali successfully plants 3,800 trees

Working in partnership with the Bali Hijau Lestari Foundation, the Hard Rock Hotel Bali successfully planted 3,800 trees across two sites in Bali.

The seedlings were distributed between Bukit Payang, Mt. Batur, Kintamani in Bangli and Rendang village in Karangasem. 

The tree planting was held last 21st February and is the result of the fundraising efforts from the 21st annual Rock n’ Run 5km Charity Fun Run held in December of last year. 

Hotel general manager Shane Coates said of the initiative: “The Rock n’ Run has been our key annual fundraising activity to support local charities for over two decades, it’s always been the most eagerly awaited year-ending running event. The run raises the spirits of enthusiastic runners, individuals and communities. We hope that this activity inspires runners to engage not only in competition and physical fitness but also to heighten the awareness to care for our planet.”

This tree planting initiative exemplifies Hard Rock Hotel Bali’s commitment to sustainability and its dedication to preserving the natural beauty of Bali.
