Hard Rock Hotel Bali Plants 3,800 Trees Following Successful Rock n’ Run Charity Event

Hard Rock Hotel Bali, in partnership with the Bali Hijau Lestari Foundation, is delighted to share the successful planting of 3,800 trees across two sites in Bali: Bukit Payang, Mt. Batur, Kintamani in Bangli and Rendang village in Karangasem. This event took place on February 21st, 2025. This initiative represents the outcome of the fundraising efforts from the 21st annual Rock n' Run 5km Charity Fun Run, which was held on December 8th, 2024.

Bukit Payang, Kintamani, stands as a crucial conservation forest area, highlighting the urgent need for ecosystem restoration initiatives. These efforts are centered around the cultivation of endemic plant species, such as Ampupu (Eucalyptus Urophylla) and mountain pines (Casuarina Junghuhniana). Meanwhile, the forest in Rendang, Karangasem is recognized as a protected forest, where the Bali Hijau Lestari Foundation partners with the East Bali Forest Management Unit/Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan (KPH) and local farmer groups to implement the planting of fruit-bearing trees.

Hard Rock Hotel Bali, which recently received GSTC certification, is committed to care for the environment by implementing sustainable practices. “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,” stated Shane Coates, General Manager of Hard Rock Hotel Bali.

This tree planting initiative exemplifies Hard Rock Hotel Bali's commitment to sustainability and its dedication to preserving the natural beauty of Bali. Through collaboration with the Bali Hijau Lestari Foundation and engaging the community in events like Rock n' Run, Hard Rock Hotel Bali seeks to foster a positive environmental impact and motivate others to participate. The hotel is committed to continue supporting environmental initiatives and strives to create a greener future for Bali.
