At least 100 Benguet Pine trees alternate with 75 Arabica coffee seedlings were planted at Barangay Country Club Village  while 600 Arabica coffee seedlings were planted at the Historical Core, Camp John Hay by the JHMC employees led by President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Jamie Eloise M. Agbayani and their partners from the McKleen and Maximum Security.
“As the steward of about 53% of the forested land in Baguio City, JHMC continues to implement environmental programs which aim to maintain forest density, clean air and water resources,” aJHMC statement read.
            “Being true to its mandate to be the leader of environment and forest stewardship in the country, 38 JHMC personnel and security providers are deputized as DENR Officers which are tasked to enforce environment and forestry laws, rules and regulations within the CJHRA,” it  added.
