10/16/2026. Thanks to the energy of volunteers from SU FM, NORSU LTS, NORSU Pychology, Focolare Movement of Dumaguete, Kinaiyahan, and DIARS. We were able to transfer established piapi (aka bungalon) for hardening as well as repot over 500 saplings of the same species in the nursery.
Piapi is one of the two scientifically favored species for mangrove planting at exposed site due to its resilience. Since it is a slow growing tree, it needs over a year of prepping in the nursery before it can be planted on site.
