During this month, Trees4Trees arranged survey to locations which were possible to develop as eco-tourism in Pati District. Some of the visited locations were valley, creek and path. The activity was delivered as recommended by PUM, a non profit organization based in The Netherland.
Creek with clear water stream as performed in the picture is a valuable asset for establishing eco-tourism. Supporting infrastructure such as road block also becomes determined factor for eco-tourism.

Data collection and mapping is aimed at identifying area which has been planted, not yet planted, look for possible area for expanded planting, land typology, including social and legal factors surrounding.
The objective of the socialization is to provide information to farmer group, community (also sponsor and other stakeholders) on issues related to planting plan. The issues are planting schedule, planting area, distribution of seeds and the quantity etc. A total of 25,000 of seedlings are planned to distribute to Management Unit:
Pati

Environmental Impact Assessment/EIA
An Environmental impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the possible impact—positive or negative—on the environment when a new activity/program is introduced in an area. The assessment considers natural, social and economic aspects.
The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that possible environmental impacts are considered before deciding to go ahead with the program or designs the program to avoid possible negative impact.
We have transported seedlings from the nurseries to each Management Unit. The seedlings now need 2-4 weeks to acclimatize to the new surroundings before planting.
Total seedlings distributed amount to 454.946
There will be 3871 farmers (and their families) involved in planting them on 784 hectares of land.

Trees4Trees™ has been planting trees in Central Java communities since 2007. One of the big benefits of community forestry is that in addition to added tree cover it provides an income for those communities when the trees are harvested. Some of the fast growing species planted by Trees4Trees are already coming to harvest-able maturity.
Water is the essence of life and to provide a healthy living environment for local communities, the water supply must be clean and protected.
