PICTORIAL AND NARRATIVE REPORT ON TREE PLANTING ACTIVITY

December 06, 2023

                        The destruction of the tropical forest has become increasingly evident due to the man’s

desire to improve his way of living. This is one of the biggest environmental problems on earth today. Man has made a great contribution to the disruption of Mother Earth. However, it is not too lateto save the environment. To maintain the ecological balance, we should strictly follow ordinances,rules and regulations, and participate in activities related to the preservation of the environment. 

• Follow strictly the ordinances on the indiscriminate throwing garbage or waste into the

bodies of water

• Cutting down of trees should be prohibited for doing so, watershed is destroyed, and

water supply will be greatly affected.  

• Plant more trees. Trees are very important to our environment. They supply enough oxygen,

• regulate the temperature of our surroundings, absorb pollution, and give us shade.

• Logging regulations should be strictly enforced. Loggers should not be allowed to cut down trees,

especially in areas where there are watersheds.  

            In consonance with the Division Memorandum No.69 series of 2023 entitled: ”DepEd’s 236,000

trees-A Christmas Gift for the Children”, Baya Elementary school Conducted tree planting activity

last December 6, 2023. This is pursuant to Division Memorandum No. 430, s 2023, which encourages

everyone in the division to participate in tree planting activity with a maximum of 30 individuals.

            Driven by their overflowing zest and excitement, the combined team from the faculty and learners arrived

at 6:30 in the morning with bolos, garden trowel, hand cultivator and shovels as their digging and planting

paraphernalia. 

                Baya Elementary school has an area of 1000 square meters. Almost all of the area is occupied by the school building and the small portion of which serves as Gulayan sa Paaralan. But the space near the fence is wide enough for a tree planting Activity. On December 06, 2023, a remarkable program that has evolved out of the experiences is the tree planting activity, which is spearheaded by the school principal Ms. Alma C. Aguirre with the teachers and learners as main players. 

            A total of 30 (10 rambutan, Cacao 10,langka 5, Guyabano 5)  seedlings were planted along the

fence of Baya Elementary School. The participants composed of 10 teachers and 20 learners

simultaneously planted the fruit bearing trees to the assigned spot for planting. With a tender and gentle

hold and touch, each of them carefully cultivated the soil and planted the rambutan seedling to make sure

that it would grow and thrive long enough. The monitoring of trees was given to YES-O and SELG

Officers to make sure the trees will grow and flourish.  

The school principal, MS. Alma C. Aguirre, and grade 6 learner Paul Jake San Agustin are laying out and digging

holes for the seedling.

                    
                The activity ended successfully, and the participants separated with a smile on their faces, with a feeling of fulfilment for responding to nature's call for preservation and with great hopes that all seedlings planted will grow sturdy and strong for a better place and better environment for the next generation.
