MANGROVE REHABILITATION - IT'S EVERYBODY'S CONCERN

Every year CLAD will always encourage its partner associations and cooperatives to conduct activities which would enhance rebuilding of our environment. This year, this activity was focused on replanting mangrove trees along the coast of Brgy F. E. Marcos, the Brgy where the Katilingbanon Multi-purpose Cooperative was located. This cooperative served as the host of this annual tree planting activities which was conducted last September 8, 2012. I myself was overwhelm with the enthusiasm and excitement shown by the members of the different groups who had shown their full support to this activity. The following pictorials would serve as the living proof of the strong support given by the following organizations;
