Ahunan Power Inc. has launched a green initiative in Laguna aimed at both promoting environmental sustainability while strengthening ties with the local community.
On August 22, more than 2,500 saplings of both fruit-bearing and forest trees were delivered to Barangay Natividad, Pangil, Laguna. A temporary nursery was set up onsite to serve as a staging area for upcoming socio-environmental activities, including tree planting.
The sapling delivery was carried out in partnership with Prime Infra Foundation and Prime Terra, a nature-based solutions company under Prime Infra.
“Aligned with our commitment to protecting the environment, these initial saplings are part of a broader initiative to reforest areas across the country. Our reforestation efforts help sequester carbon, reduce emissions, and contribute to cleaner, healthier air for all Filipinos,” Prime Infra said.
The first batch of saplings will undergo an adaptive process and acclimatize to the new environment before reforestation.
Setting up the staging area marks the first step toward establishing a permanent nursery, which will aim to produce over 200,000 seedlings annually. Ahunan will ramp up sapling production in the coming years, supporting both its reforestation goals and its commitment to environmental stewardship in partnership with the local community.
“This initiative also allows us to strengthen collaboration with the community by engaging people’s organizations, farmers, and other local stakeholders,” Ahunan, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prime Infra, said.
The activity was conducted under the Tayo Na Pakil program launched by Ahunan and Prime Infra Foundation in 2022. The program implements community-centered initiatives which promote inclusive growth for Pakil, Laguna, alongside the 1,400MW Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Power Project.
