OWD to plant trees in Tala watershed area

ORANI, Bataan – For its 5^th year of reforestation project, the Orani Water District (OWD) will plant tree seedlings in the Barangay Tala watershed area, this town, on Saturday, August 13. The meeting place of the planting activity is 6am at OWD Office.        

Earlier, OWD General Manager Benni Andres said they will be planting another 10,000 seedlings or even more to the watershed area this year. OWD has already planted 39,000 tree seedlings in the Tala watershed area for the last 4 years.  

The water district is nurturing 28 hectares watershed area, which is part of Bataan National Park.   

In celebrating its anniversary every February for the past 5 years, OWD has been sponsoring fun run for a cause to raise fund for the water district’s reforestation program. OWD has raised P116,960 last February to be used for the project.        

The reforestation program of OWD has been attracting the support of various sectors for the past years.
