Land Delineation

Land Delineation

Day 1: J. M. Lontok Land Survey Services, led by Geodetic Engr. Michael Monteza, was commissioned by Ayala Land Inc to conduct land delineation within the Ayala property. The target site is what they called “R1” with a measurement of 84.5h. Temporary markers were installed.

Corner 1 up to corner 9 has a distance of 1.3km. Connecting from corner 9 to corner 12 measures 500meters.

Land delineation is necessary to know the exact boundaries of the property. With these activity, planting site and restrictions from wildling collection were identified.

Part of Ayala Carbon Forest Project in Alaminos.

Day 2: Continuation of the boundary delineation by sticking method was done to be able to lay-out corners covering the R1. Corners 32-39 measures 355 meters. While the distance from 39 to corner 1 is 600 meters. T4 Expressway by the DPWH will traverse between R1 & R3, that measures 60 meters.

R3 is located near at the back of BellaVita Subdivision. It has a 5.9 hectares and dominated by coconut trees. It was completely delineated.

This project is funded by the Ayala Land Inc. Under the Alaminos Carbon Forest Project.

Day 3 : Started at corner 31 up to corner 12 of R1. About a 1.3km distance were layed out. R1 was already completed. It has thick vegetative cover and few patches of vacant area that will be planted by native tree species.

We hit the last to be delineated the R2. R2-11 – R2-7 has a measurements of 1.154km. Corner R2 – 7- R2- has a distance of 68 meters.

R2 is popularly known as “Dell Valle” as what the local called. We observed a thick vegetative cover in this area.

Wildling Collections and Growth Chamber Construction

Wildling Collections and Growth Chamber Construction

Wildling collections and growth chamber demonstration was the main activity after the lecture on nursery management and seedling propagation.

The objectives is to assist the community in the identification of species for wildling collection, to train the community in the proper collection, transport and handling of wildlings and to train the community in proper management of seedlings in the nursery (orientation and timing of planting).

This project is funded by the Ayala Land Inc. under the Alaminos Carbon Forest Project.

Nursery Establishment Preparation

Nursery Establishment Preparation

The identified location for the nursery has been set in preparation for the nursery establishment training workshop. Construction of nursery shed and few potting bags were also installed. It was participated by the community of Brgy. San Andres and San Juan.

Nursery Establishment Training is set on February 10-11,2018. First day will focus on lecture and theories on seed propagation and nursery management. Second day will be devoted to field work on how to collect wildlings and growth chamber construction.

This is funded by the Ayala Land Inc. under the Alaminos Carbon Forest Project implemented by Pusod, Inc.
