| Abstract | This paper examines findings from a socio-economic survey of Leyte Island smallholders concerning their attitudes towards tree farming. It was found that smallholders ’ intentions to plant trees depend on the availability of land and their access to credit institutions to finance their tree farming and related activities. The smallholder tree growers reported that they have not yet experienced any other substantial constraints as far as the growing of trees is concerned. Tree growing intentions were motivated mostly by the desire to provide a legacy for children and grandchildren and environmental objectives. About 45.7 % of the respondents were found to have registered their planted trees and they generally had not experienced any difficulties in carrying out tree registration. A significant relationship was found between interest to register trees and some socio-economic variables, including indicators of well-being and socio-demographic profile. |
