Cagayan River dredging, planting of 200 M trees proposed
Excerpt
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu has proposed the immediate dredging of Cagayan River and planting of some 200 million tree seedlings on low-lying agricultural areas in Cagayan following one of the worst flooding in the province in decades. Cimatu said these interventions, which we can be started immediately, can make a significant difference. He cited that the DENR has been continuously conducting reforestation activities in Cagayan through the Enhanced National Greening Program (ENGP) with focus on upland areas.
