PBSP promotes tree planting

PBSP kicked off the Cebu Hillylands Reforestation Caravan on June 18 in Sitio Cantipla 2 Barangay Tabunan Cebu City. PBSP targets to plant 15,000 seedlings on 6 hectares with more than 800 volunteers for the kick off event. Aside from this, volunteers are encouraged to take part in various breakout activities during the kickoff.

Last year, with help from 3,700 volunteers from 100 companies, PBSP reforested more than 300 hectares with 40 native and endemic tree species. The foundation hopes to increase participation of agencies, companies, and individuals by bringing 5,000 volunteers to plant this year.

PBSP is still inviting more companies to join the succeeding Saturdays of the reforestation caravan to meet its target to reforest at least 100 hectares of the Cebu Hillylands. The reforestation caravan will run for 18 Saturdays until Oct 15.
