We are inviting the PinoyMTBiker community to a tree planting activity at Mt. Palaypa;ay in Cavite this Saturday, Sept 1, 2007 from 8am to 12 noon.
The Tree Planting in Mt. Palaypalay as part of the
Trees for Life : 20 million seedlings project of the Green Army. EcoRescue will be helping them out. Mt. Palaypalay /
Mataas na Gulod Protected Landscape is located within
the Municipalities of Maragondon and Ternate, Province
of Cavite and Municipalities of Nasugbu, Province of
Batangas. We will be planting at the Ternate side.
We will be planting a total 1,000 Camagong seedlings
to be planted in Mt. Palaypalay near the road so that
it will be accessible to the adoptors and thus making
possible the nurturing side.
There will just be a short program on trees and tree planting.
The plots will be made ready for planting
Please bring your water and food and maybe small
shovel/trowel and gloves Clothes for planting and just be ready for rain.
Best route I think is Coastal Road via Bacoor - Imus -
Dasmarinas - Gen Trias - Trece Martires City - Naic -
Maragondon - Ternate Proper. There is an alternative
South Expressway via Carmona exit - General Mariano
Alvarez (GMA) - Dasmarinas (Pala-pala)- Trece
Martires City - Naic - Maragondon - Ternate Proper.
Not sure how long the travel time is. I will going
there on Tuesday and will advise you.
Please let me know how many are going.
Thank you for helping us out.
