CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga - The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has partnered with two private corporations to boost forest protection in Bulacan. DENR Regional Executive Director Paquito Moreno Jr. said on Wednesday Eagle Cement Corporation (ECC) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Solid North Mineral Corporation (SNMC) will adopt over 34 hectares of forestland areas in Barangay Talbak, Dona Remedios Trinidad town. "The adoption of this forestland area adds a significant boost in our long-term forestland management, especially so that putting up a forest ranger station will be supplemental in our efforts to safeguard this area from any illegal forest activities," Moreno said in a statement. He said a non-commercial nursery research center, a forest ranger outpost and a 2.15-hectare seedling nursery would also be established in the area. The main activities in the area will include nursery development and the propagation of various seedlings to be used
