La Mesa Nature Reserve Park Tree Planting




Summary: Donating 250 pesos for the forest + trek + actually propagating the plant which will be added to the forest which not only act a the lungs of Manila but it also do a part in serving water for the 12 Million residence of Manila.

Beside the wall climbing, swimming and biking in La Mesa Ecopark you can actually trike and rent a bike to explore the only remaining forest in Manila.
Trek for a total of 2 and a half hour. Still smiling ^_^. I'm so glad to meet this kind of people. Thanks to Storm Chasers, Pinoy Volunteer Group and Binagyo Group.

Together with Binagyo Outdoor Group, Storm Chasers and Pinoy Volunteer Group we went to La Mesa Nature Reserve Park to support in saving the Watershed which is actually serving the 12 million residents of Manila. What we did is a plant propagation, we prepared the soil to plant the seedlings which in turn will need to survive 6-8 months before being planted to the forest.







The good deeds





We then trek for 1 and half hours to reach the reservoir.
