BOGOR — Bogor Regency Government and Korindo Group through the Korindo Foundation began a trial planting of Pondok Rajeg City Forest in Cibinong, Bogor, on Saturday (25/9). This activity was inaugurated by the Head of Environmental Service Office (DLH) of Bogor Regency, Asnan and the Chairman of Korindo Foundation, Robert Seung.
The trial stage is targeted to run for one year, which will end in September 2022. During that time, Korindo together with the Bogor Regency Government will carry out intensive supervision.
The trial planting activity is a follow-up to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Bogor Regency Government and Korindo Foundation held at the Office of the Development Planning, Research and Development Agency (Bappedalitbang) of Bogor Regency last Monday (13/9).
The trial planting process, which is a part of a feasibility study, was necessary to do in advance. The reason is that the characteristics of soil in Pondok Rajeg City Forest tend to be soft, which is different from the one in Pakansari City Forest and other open green spaces that Korindo has built.
The trial planting was carried out in three zones, namely the southern, central, and northern parts. Each zone has an area of 900 square meters (m2) which is planted with 100 sengon and trembesi trees. In total, the trial planting area reached 2,700 m2 with 300 trees planted.
