Our Roots
One Million Tree Foundation's origin traces back to the Annual Million Tree Challenge which was launched on 18 February 2017 by then MWSS Administrator PDDG Reynaldo V. Velasco.
It is a five-year watershed rehabilitation project to benefit seven critical watersheds namely: Angat, Ipo, Kaliwa, La Mesa, Laguna Lake, Umiray, and Upper Marikina including Manila Bay through the planting of one million trees yearly.
What We Do
Million Trees Foundation is advocating for the planting of bamboos along river banks; and narra and ylang-ylang (Cananga odorata) trees in the other areas. It will also push for the massive planting of bamboos along riverbanks in Marikina and Laguna Lake. Bamboos help absorb excess water, cut soil losses, and minimize soil erosion. The foundation is not only concerned with tree-planting, reforestation, and environmental sustainability but also to provide livelihood opportunities to people, particularly those in the communities through
our tree-planting advocacy.
