BASCO, Batanes- The local government of Basco will make tree planting a regular community service according to Basco Mayor Demetrius Paul Narag in support to the government’s greening program. | |||
Narag said the activity is also aimed at protecting the Basco communal pastureland from erosion and denudation. | |||
To attain this, the local chief executive along with the LGU’s 60 regular and casual employees have again planted at least 1,000 palo maria, mango, mabolo and chayi seedlings in the said area. | |||
According to Vice Mayor Anastacia Viola who also joined the tree planting activity, Mayor Narag was able to plant at least 50 seedlings. | |||
The first tree planting activity was undertaken on September 15 wherein casual employees planted around 2,000 seedlings along the Basco pastureland. | |||
The tree planting was supervised by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through Nestor Reyes and the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer George Reyes. | |||
Before the tree planting activity, the LGU officials and employees conducted preparatory activity such as clearing few forage. | |||
The group also proceeded to the kural coastal area which is a part of the marine sanctuary to do coastal clean up in preparation for the excursion of the Science Campers of the Basco Central School on September 24 and the rescheduled camping of senior citizens on September 26. | |||
