OCEANAGOLD PHILIPPINES CONDUCTS TREE PLANTING IN AND AROUND ITS DIDIPIO GOLD COPPER PROJECT



Oceanagold Philippines, Inc. conducted tree planting activities at Debibi Integrated Elementary School on May 25, 2009 at Barangay Debibi, Province of Quirino, Philippines. The tree planting coincided with the barangay’s three day 39th year Fiesta from May 23 to 25, 2009.

Oceanagold’s Chito Gozar; Vice President for Communications and External Affairs and Lucy Exconde; Sustainability and Community Partnership Manager joined Barangay Debibi Captain Narciso Kitan and Province of Quirino Board Member Gerry Pagbilao in the tree planting.

A total of 5000 trees were planted by Barangay Debibi in its jurisdiction, in collaboration with Oceanagold since the start of the barangay’s tree planting endeavour.

The activity aims to promote and create awareness among the constituents of the barangay and Oceanagold employees in protecting and managing the environment.

As part of the environment protection program, Oceanagold personnel are also involved in reforestation activities. Reforestation is part of the company’s long term measure in stormwater management.

One of the activities is the establishment of fire lines around the Oceanagold’s plantations to protect the trees from fire. Likewise, ring weeding maintenance around each plant to free them from unwanted grasses especially during its first six months after planting is also being undertaken.

Oceanagold employees are actively engaged in activities that promote environment care and protection keeping the community where its project operates, environmentally sound and sustainable.
