observed that there are about 1,000 Gmelina dnd Falcata trees found not
along the strlp that would satisfy the spacing of 4m x 4 m. and should
be considered as naturally growing trees and not planted and therefore,
authori-ty to cut the 1,000 trees should be sunctioned and approved by

A. No, because the 1,000 trees that are found in between the
- planted trees are mother trees.
