The Philippine Wood Producers Association (PWPA) is urging all stakeholders in the country anew to plant more trees during the rainy season so they can take advantage of the frequent rains, which are good for the growth of the seedlings.
“The rainy season creates an excellent environment for the seedlings to take root,” said PWPA Chairman Charlie Liu. “Seedlings which are planted during the rainy season can get the most benefit as they generally fare better when they are exposed to moderate temperature and a healthy amount of rainfall.”
