Dwarfed by the looming century-old rain tree, officials and personnel of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Central Office join the nationwide launch of the annual “Hug A Tree” campaign last February 14. The three-day event is organized by the DENR Forest Management Bureau to inspire more Filipinos to take part in the country’s regreening efforts and to raise awareness on the benefits of trees to communities and the environment.
