On September 14, 2005 five thousand wildlings of five different endemic species of trees are on their way from Luzon to Mindoro to be raised for another year in the IVAFMS nursery.  They are Apitong, Palo Sapis, Yakal, Lawaan and Guijo.  One thousand each.  We are so happy about this.  It is a great feeling to be able to help preserve something that otherwise might perish someday. A brief description of each of the species is as follows:
