Kenya Forest Service in Nyandarua County has been very instrumental in the Foundation Environment Conservation journey in regard to tree growing. It is the genesis of the partnership in existence between the Foundation and the Service.
To keep the conservation fire burning, Dedan Kimathi Foundation environment conservation team of devoted volunteers have spent the day at Ol Kalou tree nursery. The team has engaged in thorough weeding and cleaning to maintain nursery hygiene, value addition, pricking in, seedlings sorting out and rearrangement as well as green house tree seedlings treatment.
The Foundation is committed to help KFS increase tree seedlings production by offering voluntary labour in honor of the framework of collaboration between the 2 parties. This will not only help DKF in its conservation agenda but also enable the service to produce higher number of seedlings in readiness of the rainy season planting.
Nyandarua County Forest Conservator; Mr. Njoroge lauded the Green Army for volunteering to be in the forefront in climate change mitigation. He urged the team to continue recruiting more youth to make a greater impact in the conservation work. He commended the Foundation management for not taking breaks in the work terming that as a very good move to ensure sustainability.
Dedan Kimathi Foundation CEO; Ms. Evelyn Kimathi assured the CFC that the Green Army will continue helping the service in the nurseries to overcome the challenge of low manpower due to retrenchment.
