LOLOLO MOMS - They are doing great in terms of promoting community participation in forestry activities.
And pine is top-most in the kind of work they are doing.
Members of Lololo Mothers Club have successfully completed potting at least 6,667 pine seedlings for the school their kids attend - Lololo Primary School. This is part of a reforestation partnership supported by the Ministry of Forestry and Dayal's Sawmill.

A Ministry statement says the initiative forms "part of ongoing efforts to promote community participation in forestry activities while creating opportunities for local development and education support."
Western Division staff from the Ministry of Forestry provided technical assistance with the transplanting process, ensuring the successful preparation of the seedlings.

Funds generated through this initiative will go directly towards Lololo Primary School’s fundraising drive to assist with school maintenance works and the purchase of essential learning accessories and equipment.

"The Ministry of Forestry acknowledges the valuable partnership with Dayals Sawmills and commends the dedication of the Lololo Mothers Club for their contribution to both environmental sustainability and educational development," the Ministry statement says.

This collaborative effort demonstrates how forestry initiatives can create meaningful benefits for communities while strengthening partnerships that support a greener and more prosperous future for Fiji. (Source: Ministry of Forestry)

Fiji Pine is pleased to support the installation of StarLink Internet together with a BLUETTI Solar Power Solution at Kavula Village in Bua, installed and configured by our Internal ICT Team.

This initiative will help bridge the digital divide by providing the community with improved access to reliable internet connectivity, supported by a sustainable solar power solution.

The connectivity will greatly assist students with access to online learning and educational resources, while also supporting the wider community in communicating, accessing essential online services, and creating new opportunities.

For local farmers, small businesses and community members, improved internet access will also help strengthen economic activities by connecting them with suppliers, customers and potential markets beyond their community.

NOW WE FIGHT THEM 🙂 Good news for our pine - Fiji's Ministry of Agriculture and Waterways is testing two biological control agents that could help manage the invasive African Tulip.
Both agents are being kept under secure containment while their environmental safety is assessed.
The gall-forming mite Colomerus Spathodeae and leaf-mining flea beetle Paradibolia Coerulea were imported for laboratory research and confined trials at Koronivia Research Station.
No uncontrolled field release of either agent has occurred.
Director of Research and Agriculture Scientific Services Dr Shalendra Prasad said the research was being conducted under strict safeguards.
"The research is being undertaken under strict containment and in accordance with the conditions set by the Biosecurity Authority of Fiji (BAF)," Dr Prasad said.
"At this stage, there has been no uncontrolled field release of either biological control agent.
"Our focus is to generate sound scientific evidence through host-specificity testing and confined trials before any consideration is given to a future field release."
The research is taking place at the Plant Protection Biocontrol Unit's Biosecurity Approved Premises at Koronivia.
The Biosecurity Authority of Fiji certified the site as a post-entry quarantine facility on 7 August 2026, with the approval valid for one year.
Its conditional approval allows the ministry to keep the agents strictly for in-vitro and contained research while preventing their intentional or accidental release.
Any future field release would require separate written approval after the authority assesses the findings.
The agents were sourced through the Bioeconomy Science Institute and Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research in New Zealand.About 120 adult flea beetles were initially imported, with at least 30 per cent of the original adults still alive.
The beetles have completed two generations, producing about 850 additional beetles.
The gall mite is establishing more slowly. (Fiji Government)

A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP has been established between the Ministry of Forestry, Fiji Pine Trust and All Nations Christian Fellowship (ANCF).
Hon. Alitia Bainivalu, Minister for Forestry and Fisheries, states her pride in the partnership as she commissioned the El Roi Nursery Project in Vuci, near Nausori Town.
"This is a new chapter for Fiji’s forestry and our communities," she says.
The project has a capacity of 50,000 pine seedlings in a new nursery at the ANCF's Moriah Church in Vuci at which a lot of work will help "restore degraded land, strengthen our pine industry and build a more climate-resilient Fiji", says Hon. Bainivalu.
Each nursery platform has unique names too - a faith-based raised surface christened after major cities in the Judean region...ENDS

UP NADARIVATU, the weather is cool. The little trees are doing well. This region is known for its cooler climate and its mild air temperatures - so our little trees don't get too much moisture stress out there. Cool weather works well for pine in Nadarivatu as their roots get established as they begin to grow.
Thank you Rupeni Mudu for these pictures: taken at PU21

MACUATA STATION - The little green golds get a cooling down with water from a nearby river. Kaiyava reports the stand-by team, along with the nursery officer, are pumping water from the river to water the seedlings.
