Reforestation, that's what we do. We are looking for bald areas in the upland to reforest. This task is tough as we walk around 15kms everyday to find these areas. We also convince people to help us rebuild our forest. We survey and measure these areas to find out the number of trees to be planted. As of the moment, we haven't started planting yet. We are still doing the survey in the upland at it takes quite a long time. Unfortunately, we don't the the technology to make our work easier.
While we do our job, we also get the benefits of staying close with nature. The beautiful night sky when the moon is at rest is awesome. The cold air gives me sound sleep. The generous supply of water is satisfying. People treat us with utmost respect. These are things that we hardly enjoy in the city.
These are photos I took while roaming around the upland.
