Calamba City, Laguna — The government has laid out an elaborate plan to cover one million hectares of watershed, riverbanks and lakeshores with 200 million seedlings of high and commercially productive variety of bamboo in the next five years. The bamboo planting program is actually an element of the Laguna Lake rehabilitation plan under the DENR’s Sustainable Integrated Area Development (SIAD) program, an integrated approach to the reforestation and rehabilitation of the country’s watershed areas.
