Last Saturday, we had a tree planting activity with Sha’s company and with Haribon Foundation for their project Road to 2020. It is actually interesting to learn that it is recommended not to use foreign tree species in reforestation because it won’t bring us the ecological benefits that we need.

The strategy that was being used for this project is called rainforestation, which only makes use of native tree species found in the Philippines.

Tree planting is not an easy task and it is an activity that’s not meant for everyone to do. Those who easily get back pains and arthritis are not recommended to participate in such. I’m glad that I had a chance to partake in this activity.
