WATERSHED MANAGEMENT General Objective – aims to develop, rehabilitate, stabilize and arrest degradation of watershed resource through reforestation and agro-forestry approach.

Scope: Agro-forestry and Reforestation a. Boac - 374 has. with 123 has. on-going, 16 barsangays and water way rehab. - 1 km & 83 has. on-going in 17 barangays b. Buenavista - 523 has with 147 has. on-going, 10 barangays & urban greening- 2 has., 1 brgy. c. Gasan - 155 has. with 76 has. on-going in 3 brgys and waterway rehab. – 2 km in 4 brgys. d. Mogpog - 40 has. and 30 has. on-going, 3 barangays e. Sta. Cruz - 888 has. with 30 has. on-going, 12 brgys. & waterway rehab. – 5 km in 2 brgys f. Torrijos - 299 has. and 110 has. on-going, 8 brgys. & urban greening – 2 has. In 1 brgy.

Methods: Partnership and participatory project implementation, Site ID, Capability Dev’t./skills Training, Assessment and Species Selection, Nursery Establishment, Seedling Production/Procurement, Plantation and Dev’t/SALT, Maint. & Protection, Monitoring and Evaluation. DBP & CBATEP Project– return of fruit tree seedling cost, 30/70 scheme among PO/Coop until payment to be used for future project expansion Results: Improve/enhance forest cover and wildlife sanctuary, increase water yeild Minimize illegal forest activities Provide direct employment and awareness towards conservation of environment and natural resources Expected to provide economic impact thru income from proceeds of harvest

Issues and Concerns/Challenge: • Mogpog to extend watershed project from Tarug to Balanacan • River/waterway rehab. – Mogpog River. Tipo River, Libtangin River and Malbog River • Establishment of Wilderness and Eco-Tourism Park Lessons Learned: Participatory planning,Value Formation and regular visit for effective and efficient project implementation, values of environment and natural resource
