Mabinay to use Balete
tree for reforestation
BY MARICAR ARANAS

The town of Mabinay will use the endemic supply of Balete tree seedlings for its tree planting and reforestation programs.

Mayor Ernie Uy  has issued a memorandum to all municipal employees to bring five balete tree seedlings of any variety every day, for planting at the reforestation and watershed area of the town.

Uy said he did not receive any complaint from the employees, because balete seedlings are abundant in Mabinay, adding that the trees are good for reforestation because they can hold water 10 times more than other trees.
