To replant and reforest the open spaces of the watershed Zamboanga City watersheds specifically at the buffer zone of the Pasonanca Natural Park. It provides potable and domestic and agricultural water to the lowland communities. Beyond these immediate benefits, trees cool the urban environment; the extent of the local tree canopy can influence temperatures within a city. Trees reduce the amount of storm water runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding. So trees are essential to reducing the urban heat island effect and keeping ambient temperatures down during hot season reducing the use of electrical and fossil fuels as energy conservation measures.
