The data collected were analyzed using the steps of data presentation, reduction, processing and conclusion. The results showed that the implementation of the independent adiwiyata program was carried out through school policies, both intracurricular and extracurricular. Activities are coordinated by cadres, including reforestation cadres, faith and piety strengthening cadres, youth health care cadres, literacy cadres, organic waste processing cadres, inorganic waste processing cadres and water and electricity energy saving cadres.
