Termez State University (TerSU) collaborates with neighbourhood communities and local environmental partners to care for land ecosystems and green spaces shared with local residents. In 2025, this cooperation was demonstrated through community greening in Temirchilar neighbourhood and an extensive public-land clean-up in Termez city. Both activities extended environmental stewardship beyond the university campus.

University–neighbourhood cooperation in Temirchilar
On 20 February 2025, TerSU professors, tutors and student volunteers participated in community improvement work in Temirchilar neighbourhood, Termez District, under the Yashil Makon (Green Space) initiative. Nearly 100 conifer saplings were planted in neighbourhood areas. The activity provided a direct contribution to vegetation cover on shared land and illustrates practical university–mahalla cooperation on local environmental care.
Cleaning shared terrestrial spaces in Termez
In October 2025, TerSU students joined a large neighbourhood clean-up under the initiative “Let Us Make Our Neighbourhood Free of Waste”. Approximately 1,000 student volunteers collected household litter from roadsides and other shared areas of Termez neighbourhoods. The action removed more than five tonnes of waste, which was transported to designated collection locations by special-purpose vehicles. This community-facing activity helped reduce litter on publicly used land and strengthened environmental responsibility among young volunteers.
Community partnership and land stewardship
TerSU’s institutional SDG platform describes cooperation with local citizens’ assemblies, Termez city authorities, the regional environmental administration and environmental civil-society organisations. The stated partnership areas include green-space creation, neighbourhood environmental clean-ups, ecological awareness and advisory work on land and vegetation protection. The two dated 2025 activities above document how this approach has been put into practice in shared community spaces.
