CSC organizes holds mangrove planting
A MANGROVE planting activity was recently held in Barangay Malimpuec in Lingayen by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to mark the culmination of the month-long celebration of the 116th Philippine Civil Service anniversary in September.
Some 2,500 mangrove propagules or bakawan were planted by officials and employees of various national government agencies, local water districts, local government units and members of the academe to fortify the watershed in the area.
To ensure that the mangroves are grown and not just planted, a covenant was signed by all the participants committing themselves to visit the mangrove site to help in monitoring the trees’ survival rate.
The activity was led by Director Flordeliza Bugtong of CSC-Lingayen field office and Leduina Co, provincial environment and natural resources officer. (PIA-Pangasinan)
