Massive tree-planting activities in the Calabarzon region marked the country’s celebration of the Philippine Environment Month and Arbor Day in June amid Covid-19 community quarantines that remain in effect in various parts of Luzon. For the celebration of Arbor Day last June 25, 2020, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-Calabarzon region said the Batangas Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Offices (Penro) and Community Environment and Natural Resources Offices (Cenro) of Calaca, Catanauan, Calauag, Real, and Sta. Cruz conducted tree-planting activities in their respective areas. In partnership with the Society of Filipino Foresters Inc.
