Summary
This group has replanted an area of 460 hectares of society owned forest with coffee plants as many as 20,000 trees and bamboo as many as 2,500 trees. The society owned forest has become water resources with the debit of 800 liters/second. That abundant amount of water can be used to water rice fields covering an area of 891 hectares. The benefit of the society owned forest can also be enjoyed by around 60 monkeys that make the area their habitat. With such a green condition the area can be turned in to agro tourism with environment perspective with background of the foot of the Semeru Mountain.
