Reforestation

Three places in Bukidnon and one in Misamis Oriental
with a total land area of 138 hectares will be planted
with some 100,000 trees in a three-year period
beginning this month. In compliance with law,
the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
will finance the reforestation project (for every tree
that the NGCP cuts along the paths of its power

in other locations). The project costs P7.8-million
and aims at achieving a survival rate for the tree
seedlings of at least 80%.
