The Centennial Forest project is the first major undertaking of the UPV Beta Sigma Fraternity Alumni Association (UPVBSFAA). This project is the Fraternity’s simple contribution to arrest the detrimental effects of global warming and environmental degradation.
The Centennial Forest is located at the campus of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas in Miag-ao, Iloilo. The University of the Philippines in Miag-ao is the biggest campus of the UP system. It covers 8 barangays spanning 1200 hectares of rolling hills and beaches. However, only 600 hectares of the total land area are fully utilized.
The UPVBSFAA have bigger plans for the site. The organization will not limit the project to tree planting and reforestation. The Fraternity envisions the site to become a fully functional Forest Park in the future.
The Fraternity believes that this noble project will have significant impact not just for the UP and Miag-ao communities but also for the entire country.
