Department of Agrarian Reform, Province of Agusan del Norte recently joined the "Bombo Plant a Tree Project" at Sitio Matin-aw, Brgy. Bonbon, this city.
This is in line with the department's vision, not only on its program for land distribution and in providing services to the farmer-beneficiaries, but also to ensure environmental sustainability such as restoring the already depleted forest area that can cause soil erosion and flush flood that destroys many crops of farmer-beneficiaries.
"Watersheds have vital role in everyday living of our farmer-beneficiaries since it provides drinking water to the community and irrigation for their crops," PARO Andrei Atega said.
More than 1,000 individuals from national government agencies, local government units, non-government organization (NGO), partylists, fraternities and sororities, schools and youth sector participated the activity.
About fifty (50) seedlings of trees were allotted to DAR personnel at specific site. The DAR employees eagerly showed participation by joining in the long-walk to reach the planting site and their willingness to contribute the global effort to restore the forest from total destruction is a great achievement.
Atega expressed thanks to the lead agency and Bombo Radyo for the invitation and opportunity to participate in a worthy endeavor and contribute to environmental sustainability to benefit the people in Agusan del Norte. (DAR-Agusan del Norte/Gil E. Miranda, PIO)
