Planting the right trees, in the right place, at the right time
To ensure the trees we plant become forests, there are 3 fundamental things to know!

We called him “Kuya No”, and so did many others – staff, volunteers, members, and communities – people he embraced and inspired for over 30 years.
From ridge to reef, the footprints of Sir. Noel A. Resurreccion spanned the country. From the early 1990s, he worked in Mt. Isarog, Mt. Hilong-hilong, Mt. Irid-Angelo, Mt. Mingan, the Central Panay Mountains, Naujan Lake, Mt. Siburan, Sablayan, Lanuza Bay, Apo Reef, and many more—reaching communities across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
He was not just our colleague; he was our wisdom, our joy, and our teacher. We grieve this immense loss alongside his family, and we honor his memory by carrying his love for nature and people forward.
The impact of his life’s work is rooted deeply in the earth and in our hearts, and it will never be forgotten. May his family find comfort in knowing how fiercely he was loved. With our deepest sympathies and lifelong gratitude.
