Abstract

Indonesian people often view Ficus/banyan as a haunted tree because of its large and lush structure. In fact, Ficus or banyan trees have many benefits for humans and the environment. UIN Sunan Kalijaga community service team held a socialization and conservation of ficus, conducted to residents of Jetak-Mredo Village, Sewon District, Bantul Regency. This activity aims to provide information about the benefits and potential of ficus leaves. The methods used in this socialization are counseling, providing information on making awar-awar (ficus septica) leaf tea, and creating various contents on social media. At the socialization and information provision stage, the conversion KKN team described the types of ficus, and the benefits of ficus. This was followed by providing information related to the potential of ficus septica leaves as herbal tea and rolade. The result was the provision of knowledge and information on making ficus septica tea independently.
