October 15-17, 2009 (Sto. Nino) | October 22-24, 2009 (Talisay)
PUSOD promotes the use of indigenous and endemic tree species to restore the degraded areas in Malarayat. The local communities from Brgy Talisay and Brgy Sto Nino worked together to establish their nursery through a Rainforestation Training conducted on October 2009 and each now propagates balobo (Diplodiscus paniculatus), kupang (Parkia timoriana), amugis (Koordesiodendron pinnatum), Kalumpit (Terminalia microcarpa), Tibig (Ficus nota), and ana-i.

In coordination with academic institutions, private companies, private individuals and local communities, volunteers were mobilized to bring back the original forests of Malarayat through Tree Planting activities.
