The regional office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-12) here is consolidating efforts to immediately begin the implementation of the National Greening Program (NGP) this year.
DENR 12 Regional Executive Director Alfredo S. Pascual on January 18 met with field officials and other program implementers to download 2012 targets to eight of the nine Community Environment and Natural Resources Offices (CENROs), and additional targets funded out of 2011 savings from NGP.
As agreed, each CENRO was assigned a target in terms of the number of hectares and corresponding number of seedlings to be planted. Per estimates, an hectare of land should be planted 500 trees.
As part of the activities in project implementation, CENROs must also conduct surveys, mappings and planning to identify the exact location of each project.
Late last year, Environment Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje instructed all Regional Executive Directors to direct all CENROs to prepare their Annual Procurement Plan for the required seedlings.
