FRUITAN! REFORESTATION TERRACES GARDENING AND RECLAMATION PROJECT

FRUITAN! Reforestation Terraces Gardening (Roadside Reclamation,Fencing, Cleaning, Beautification, Flood and Dengue Mitigation, and Ecological Livelihood) Project gave back our natural springs the whole year, like in the 1970s, provided livelihoods, foods, medicines, and no more floods or landslides for 15 years already, despite overpopulation, deforestation, droughts, forest, market and house fires, garbage problems, supertyphoons, landslides, floods, and epidemics. This is an outdoor daylight, documentary snapshot photo of me, beside the FRUITAN!Reforestation Terraces Garden I singlehandedly reclaimed and maintained for over 29 years now, with a recycled fruit crate full of fruit saplings ready to be planted.
