Stretching up to 2 kilometers is this favorite side stop for tourists. Bilar Man-Made forest is a reforestation endeavor in the 1950's to cater the alarming danger to Loboc watershed by "kaingins" or slash and burn farming performed by the locals during the WWII where they cleared the forest to take refuge.
Entering Bilar Man-Made forest is very evident especially during summertime where one could really feel the drop of temperature because of the trees planted in the area. The chilly feeling comes rapidly evidence of what trees could do to drop the intense heat we experience.
Trees planted in the area are purely white and red mahoganies. These trees are over 50-60 years old and new shoots from falling seeds are making their way through filling the gaps of that 19,000+ hectares of reforested area ranging in almost every town in Bohol.
How To Get There: Bilar Man- Made forest is a side trip destination for tourists. It is located in along the roads bordering Loboc and Bilar towns. It is 20 km. from Tagbilaran, Bohol. You may ask your rented Taxi for details.
