MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, October 4 (PIA) -- At least, two more National Greening Program (NGP) sites identified in Maasin City were planted with seedlings jointly by selected national high school students, barangay officials and some members of the Knights of Columbus last Saturday, October 1. Led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Community Environment and Natural Resourses Office (CENRO), two different planting activities were held. Rene Soria, CENR focal person, said an ongoing tree planting in one of the NGP site identified in Sitio Magtuasi, Ibarra which covers eight hectares was started by at least 400 fourth year high school students coming from the following schools in the city: Maasin Vocational High School, Libhu National High School, Guadalupe National High School and Ibarra National High School While in the Barangay Laboon planting site, at least 200 students coming from Nonok National High School and Dongon National High School, barangay officials and members of the Knights of Columbus joined the event, Soria added. Earlier, Soria said that the NGP sites in Sitio Canlugok, Lunas with 80 hectares and Barangay Kahupi-an, Sogod with 85 hectares were planted completely with 500 seedlings per hectare.. He also expressed appreciation to the transportation assistance of the Department of Public Works and Highways in bringing the students to the designated NGP sites on Saturdays. He also disclosed that their office only allowed the fourth year high school students in the tree planting since the NGP sites were located at high mountains which posed danger to younger students. Those younger ones were tapped to plant trees in the school premises, barangay plazas, safe river banks with the direct supervision of their respective teachers, he said.### (PIA SoLeyte/esg) | |||
