As the College in Nature, RVRC is continuing its campus greening and tree planting efforts with the creation of a new reforestation plot at the main entrance to the college, as part of the college’s 10th Anniversary celebrations. The RVRC Learning Forest will serve three key functions: enhance ecological connectivity to the Kent Ridge Forest, create a learning space for RVRC’s formal and informal curriculum, and a provide communal space for all RVRC residents. By extension, these functions and amenities extend to everyone on the NUS university campus. The RVRC Learning Forest will also contribute, in small part, to the NUS Sustainability's 'Planting 10,000 Trees' initiative. RVRC students, staff, and alumni together planted 100 native trees on 27 January 2024. Local plant species have been used as they are better adapted to Singapore’s climate conditions and also help in conserving Singapore’s local forest genetic resources.

The student organising committee for this commemorative event comprised of RVRC students from different disciplines and years - Natalie Ong, Yew Jia Yin, Chu Jia Yi, Neo Lisuen, Shirley Tan, Chye Yi De, Gillian Harryanto, Ryan Low and Yasmin Seah, led by RVRC Fellow Mr. Lim Cheng Puay.
