In a camp joined by exchange students participating in scouting activities, the scoutmaster teaches how we appreciate nature from a tree and harmony with natural life.

Where the campsite is located in a protected forest that is overgrown with trees, which is adjacent to a clear water river that flows into the residents' fields, a coach tries to provide understanding to the participants to maintain the ecosystem, it is necessary to balance nature in maintaining a sustainable life by providing insight into thinking in a circular manner.

That day, the coach mobilized the students to sit under a large tree that was fifty years old. The coach told them that the tree had become a lifeline for the forest and the surrounding community.

Then the coach explained what is around us is an interconnected life Trees, soil, water, have an important role for the balance of nature. Then the coach asked "What can we learn from this tree"

The coach explained that the feedback cycle from a tree trunk to nature through its roots can absorb water and nutrients contained in the soil The roots of the tree make the soil dense is a source of food for it which can prevent soil erosion from rainfall with fertile soil is very beneficial for plant life around it.

In trees that grow there are dense leaves on old leaves that will fall back to the ground which then decompose into elements needed by the soil after being decomposed by living organisms that can help the balance of an ecosystem.

Then the coach invites his students to clean up the water sources that flow in the river in the protected forest which benefits human life as a source of clean water and fish that live there because every element and ecosystem is interrelated with one another.

Then the coach gave examples to other creatures in playing a role in the continuity of the ecosystem such as birds helping to carry seeds from the rest of their food such as fruits scattered around the forest which help renew the next plant.

On the other hand, plants are also consumed by livestock in the process of farmers every turn of young plants in maintaining soil fertility and preventing pests on the soil where using organic fertilizer from compost made from crop residues and animal waste
