Marked wildlings in the ANR site (Forester Emma N.Castillo, DENR-Forest Management Bureau)
The objectives of the Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) approach includes reduction of cost, speeding-up of forest restoration and enhancing plant diversity. It accelerates the succession process by removing or reducing barriers to natural regeneration such as competition with weedy species, soil degradation and recurring disturbances.
ANR is a method for enhancing the establishment of secondary forest from degraded grassland and shrub vegetation by protecting and nurturing mother trees and their wildlings inherently present in the area.
Stages of implementation: (a)Site identification wherein ideal sites for ANR implementation are those with 600-700 vigorous wildlings per hectare with 15-200 cm height of pioneer species, brush and other woody species relatively well spread on the area; (b) Survey, Mapping and Planning (SMP); (c)Locating and marking of wildlings which include tagging, measuring and identification for monitoring of growth and survival rates; (d) Liberation and tending of regenerants through ring weeding and placing of the cut grasses into the base of the wildlings to serve as mulch and protect them from direct exposure to sunlight and to serve as fertilizer overtime; (e) Suppressing the grass; and (f) Maintenance and protection of established ANR site.
The project of ANR in Barangay San Miguel, Danao, Bohol was initiated 2006 until 2009. Stakeholders involved are the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) including field counterparts in Region 7, Non-Government Organization, Local Government Unit (LGU) and the People's Organization (PO) in Danao, Bohol.
One of the important foci of the project is botanical inventory and vegetation study of site which deals only on the study of trees and other plant species in the site rather than biodiversity study of site which encompasses the study of both plant and animals in the site.

Management of site through the ANR technology
Biodiversity study through documentation of the vegetation status and notable changes in the biodiversity of the site with the application of the ANR techniques.

Natural regeneration of the vegetation from grassland to forest is more apparent with the emergence of several reforestation species, natural secondary forest species and other indicator species. The growth of herbs and shrubs strongly indicates that the site is in early stage of development to a secondary forest.
not aimed by technology
The town of Danao, Bohol was proclaimed as ANR municipality thus gaining the full support of the local government in terms of funding and other activities related to ANR.
The technology was transferred to various stakeholders that enabled them to continue the program.
