Abstract

The memorandum underscores the significance of sustainable forest management and the advancement of urban green areas. It mandates field offices to identify appropriate locations for forest nurseries, allocate funds for construction and upkeep, monitor seedling production and distribution monthly, engage employees/students/volunteers in nursery activities, and advocate for the use of native tree species in reforestation endeavors. Furthermore, the memorandum includes a template for a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to delineate the roles and responsibilities of involved parties in establishing and operating forest nurseries. The memorandum underscores the need for collaboration among government bodies, local communities, and non-governmental organizations to ensure the success of forest nursery initiatives.
