The project will be assisted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the project costs were apportioned between Dumaguete City and DENR at 40-60 percent sharing scheme, respectively.

The expansion of its components by UFMD through the city-wide urban greening project will focus on the green economy. The city has appropriated P240,000, and  DENR P600,000 for the project.
