Did you miss out on the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ “community pan-tree” last week? If so, don’t fret.
The DENR-National Capital Region office announced on Monday, April 26 that their special pantry will be back for at least two days this week.
“DENR National Capital Region will be resuming its distribution of free fruit-bearing and vegetable seedlings on April 27 and 29, 2021, between 9AM to 12PM, at the DENR-NCR Technical Services compound, North Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City,” an announcement on the agency’s Facebook page read. It was last Thursday, April 22 when the office first set up their community pan-tree at the same location. It turned out to be a hit.
“We advise everyone to please observe minimum public health protocols when lining up to pick up their free seedlings,” the post read. DENR-NCR has also set a limit of five fruit-bearing tree seedlings and ten vegetable seedlings per person, subject to the availability of stocks. The seedlings were provided by the Bureau of Plant Industry.
