 Tree planting & Tree Nurturing Activity Barangay Eco-park, Barangay New Sibonga, Nabunturan, Davao de Oro play a vital role in combating climate change, preserving biodiversity, and enhancing the environment's health. These activities involve selecting appropriate tree species, preparing the planting site, planting the trees, and ensuring their long-term growth and survival through nurturing practices.

Firstly, selecting the right tree species is crucial as it determines the tree's suitability for the local climate, soil conditions, and ecosystem requirements. Native species are often preferred as they are better adapted to the local environment and support local wildlife.

Preparing the planting site involves clearing away weeds, loosening the soil, and providing any necessary amendments to improve soil fertility and drainage. This sets the stage for successful tree growth by giving the roots room to establish themselves and access essential nutrients.

During the actual planting process, care must be taken to ensure proper spacing between trees, correct planting depth, and firm anchoring to prevent wind damage. Additionally, providing adequate water and mulch after planting helps to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth, fostering optimal conditions for the tree's early development.

Once planted, ongoing nurturing activities such as regular watering, mulching, pruning, and monitoring for pests and diseases are essential for the tree's long-term health and survival. Community involvement in these activities fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility for the trees, leading to greater success in their establishment and maintenance.
