Tree Planting
Dr. Geoffrey Anyembe, PhD
As the late Professor Wangari Maathai candidly put it: “If you destroy the forests then the river will stop flowing, the rains will become irregular, the crops will fail and you will die of hunger and starvation.”
WAN Foundation undertakes integrated tree planting approach as our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) towards collective environment conservation and preservation by increasing forest cover to the United Nations recommended 10%. The Government of the Republic of Kenya aspires to increase the Country’s forest cover.
We offer voluntary training on tree nursery establishment and management. We take active part during the tree planting campaign occasions including the World Environment Day celebrations by mobilizing communities to plant trees and offer free tree seedlings to the neighboring institutions such as Schools, Churches, Health Centers and even individuals. All these we do in collaboration with relevant sector players and stakeholders. A clean and quality environment is the responsibility of everyone, we are of the view and strong feeling that there is urgent need to recommit ourselves to trees planting as our contribution towards attaining preservation and conservation of the environment.
