Potia Campus kicks off pilot project on grape plantation
15 August 2022
Geared toward agro ecotourism, Potia Campus of Ifugao State University (IFSU) launched its pilot project plantation of red cardinal grapes (Vitis vinifera) by planting 60 seedlings along its 29-hectare eco-trail on June 27, 2022.
"We will expand the area of our vineyard given the success of our trial planting. The eco-trail will become an Agro Ecotourism site featuring various agroforestry systems," said Project leader Eric D. Bimmoy.
The project team is composed of Mr. Bimmoy, Mr. Carmelito Valdez, Mr. Daniel Bernardino, Ms. Imelda Guyon, and Ms. Sunshine Banawan.
Meanwhile, the eco-trail, apart from the grape vineyard, also features a lush bamboo forest, arboretum, fern grove, agroforestry, and other natural landscape attraction.
