Go Green! sets up Portable Scout Nurseries
Another important component of the Go Green! Go for the Real Thing! project is the building of Portable Scout Nurseries all over the country through the BSP Councils. This is an integral part of the BSP strategy for a sustainable tree planting and reforestation program.
In 2008 a total of four Portable Scout Nurseries have been set up. These four comprise the pilot implementation for the portable nurseries. At least six other BSP Councils have so far been identified as candidate recipients of Portable Scout Nurseries in 2009.
With the portable nurseries regularly and sufficiently producing tree seedlings and saplings, tree planting activities can be easily and regularly organized at the grassroot levels. The Portable Scout Nurseries are expected to supply the tree seedling/sapling requirements for tree planting activities of local BSP organizations, educational institutions, local government units, and non-governmental organizations in hundreds of towns and cities nationwide.
The Go Green! project office managed by the BSP Program Division will regularly send Seed Capital to sustain the tree seedling productions of the various Portable Scout Nurseries.
