Amidst a growing concern for environmental conservation, Zimbabwe’s Forestry Commission has unveiled an ambitious initiative to plant 25 million trees, focusing on the cultivation of fruit trees within school premises.
During a poignant Tree Planting Day event on Saturday, Miss Violet Makoto, the spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Forestry Commission, expressed their commitment to this significant reforestation endeavor.
Makoto emphasized that tree planting transcends a mere commemorative day; it’s an ongoing mission.
Speaking on the sidelines of this event, Makoto underscored the Commission’s ongoing efforts, engaging with various communities and individuals passionate about contributing to the noble cause of afforestation.
The Zimbabwe National Tree Planting Day, observed annually on the first Saturday of December, serves as a catalyst for nationwide action. It stands as a beacon, inspiring citizens to sow seeds of change, fostering a deeper appreciation for forests, biodiversity, and the vital role trees play in ensuring household food security.
The commitment to plant 25 million trees not only echoes a dedication to environmental revival but also embodies a collective resolve to foster sustainability, nurturing a greener tomorrow for Zimbabwe.
