BUTUAN CITY, June 15 (PIA) – As part of the
month-long observance of the Environment Month this year, Butuanons composed of
government employees, academe, civil society organizations, and other partner
stakeholders will be participating in the tree planting activity on June 24 at
Taguibo Watershed area, Barangay Pianing, this city.
Said activity is spearheaded by the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Caraga. This is also in time with the
commemoration of this year’s Arbor Day celebration.
DENR-Caraga regional director Nonito Tamayo said
it is part of the participants’ shared responsibility to plant ten trees per
year as mandated under Executive Order No. 26, thus there will be ten or more
personnel per agency organization to participate on June 24.
“We enjoined our planters to bring digging
materials such as bolos, shovel or clamshell digger for your convenience since
planters will be the one to dig the hole where the seedlings will be planted,”
added Tamayo.
It was also learned that assembly time is 5:00
a.m. at the Shell Gasoline Station in Barangay Tiniwisan, this city.
