While the government recognizes the rights of land owners to the trees found within their private lands, there is still the need to protect and conserve the remaining forest resources especially for stream/river bank protection.  In view of this, the submission of a stream/river bank reforestation plan duly budgeted and mapped shall be required prior to the approval of the Private Land Timber Permit.

Other provisions stipulated under DENR Administrative Order No. 121, series of 1989, as amended will remain in effect.

This Order shall take effect immediately.

Adopted: 27 Dec. 1990
