Growers
Cares
Trees signify LIFE.
A generous life. A life for others.
Trees signify GROWTH. In
all aspects. In all levels.
Growers
has been a long time advocate of the La Mesa Dam Water
Shed Ecological Park. It recognizes the enormous value
of this natural resource, not only for its beauty, but also for
its role in the survival of the populace.
The importance of the La
Mesa Watershed cannot be over-emphasized. It is the last
remaining forest of its size in Metro Manila. It acts as a major
carbon sink in the metropolis, serving as the "lungs
of the city." The La Mesa Watershed also serves
as an efficient natural filtration system for heavy metals and
other organic compounds, preventing contamination of the La Mesa
Dam Reservoir, a major source of fresh drinking water for the
12 million inhabitants of Metro Manila. It prevents soil erosion,
sedimentation and silt deposition in waterways, thus safeguarding
and prolonging the functionality of the Reservoir.

Members of Growers
and MarketReach Distributors Inc. plant thousands of trees
for Mother Earth |
Through the assistance of
ABS-CBN's Bantay Kalikasan, Growers
joined the "Save the La Mesa Dam Movement
and actively stamped its mark by adopting (2) two hectares of
the ecological park. In it, they helped plant a thousand trees
to help ensure its preservation.

Each tree was planted on behalf of every business partner and
friend of GFI Enterprises as gift of life.
