President Medina on Sunday visited the mountain communities of Los Fr\u00edos and Los Montancitos that border with Azua, San Juan and La Vega provinces where he spoke with farmers about the new forestry programs. The forestation and farming projects are intended to protect the basins of the Palomino and Sabana Yegua dams.<\/p>\n<p>Medina announced these include projects to plant lumber-producing trees and fruit trees in 100,000 tareas (1 tarea = 629 square meters) in the mountainous areas for commercial exploitation.

Medina said that once the projects are underway anyone known to cut a tree would go to jail.<\/p>\n<p>During the Sunday visit, Medina was accompanied by Agriculture Minister Angel Est\u00e9vez, Environment Minister Francisco Dom\u00ednguez Brito and Administrative Minister Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Peralta.<\/p>\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/m.elcaribe.com.do\/2017\/01\/23\/danilo-medina-anuncia-reforestacion-del-sur\" target=\"_blank\">El Caribe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>23 January 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Medina: new reforestry programs for the south The Presidency announced new forestry programs in the southwest.
