ALONG the footpath trail going to Mount San Vicente, a majestic viewpoint of vast forest cover within a park in Dupax del Sur town in Nueva Vizcaya province, a group of architects planted some 700 narra seedlings in their commitment to adopt a climate-proofed environment.

The tree planting activity within the Dupax Watershed Forest Reserve (DWFR) on January 13 and 14, 2023 was a collaborative effort of the United Architect of the Philippines (UAP) Manila and Nueva Vizcaya Chapters and the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO)-Dupax of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
