Provision of Technical Assistances to Different Stakeholders: More than 100 different entities (LGU’s, NGA’s/individuals/organizations and schools) were provided with ENR-related technical assistances.
LGUs/NGAs/individuals/organizations and schools in different public and private elementary/high school were coordinated and participated under the Trees for Re-greening in Each and Every School (‘TREES”) program. They are encouraged in greening, beautification and subsequently cleaning the surrounding air. The program was strengthened and supported in providing technical assistance thru the provision of seedlings/planting stocks to requesting parties. Lectures were also given to disseminate information about the importance of caring for the environment, nursery operation, proper planting techniques, maintenance and protection of planted seedlings such as putting up tree guards, ring weeding and replanting.
