Greening turnover

EDC-Burgos Wind Power Corp. recently turned over its adopted National Greening Program area in the municipalities of Vintar, Solsona and Bangui in Ilocos Norte to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Under the program, the company planted more than 790,000 seedlings of indigenous tree species and achieved 80 percent survival rate of these species within its three-year adoption period.  Representatives of Provincial Environment and Natural Resources, City Environment and Natural Resources, and five People’s Organization partners came to the turn-over ceremony. Ilocos Norte Governor Matthew Manotoc also graced the event and expressed his gratitude to EDC-Burgos for this project and for the assistance that it provides to the communities.
