A nursery for our babies

Thanks to Forest Foundation Philippines

On top of the building list agenda is the plant nursery.

To date, two nurseries have been built – the first is a 5000 sq/m seedling nursery for young plants. The second is a hardening nursery for young trees that need to be conditioned to withstand the harsh environment before they are actually planted in selected sites.

The fund for these nurseries came from a grant given by Forest Foundation Philippines. Alviera also supported this by providing tanks and water. Plans and designs were consulted with Dr. Bjorn Santos, President of De La Salle Araneta University and Mr. Noel Marin, Special Project Officer, Lasallian Mission Office, La Salle Green Hills. Dr. Santos and Mr. Marin are shown here with Wowee Dollente, Project Director of the La Sallian Institute for the Environment.
