BAMBAN, Tarlac: To boost reforestation in the province of Tarlac, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) planted about 230 bamboo seedlings along Bamban River.
A total 3,600-square meter portion of Bamban River was covered in the tree-planting undertaking.
The department noted that several activities were conducted in preparation for the activity.
"The DENR has regularly conducted clean-up activities in collaboration with partner agencies and the 40 estero rangers deployed in the area who collected an average of about 14,500 kilos of waste daily," Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office head Celia Esteban said.
The clean-up activities conducted in the region this year have yielded 140,000 tons of waste materials.
