Learners across Kenya will lead the charge in planting thousands of fruit trees as the country marks Mazingira Day 2025, under the theme: “Citizen-Centric Tree Growing and Environmental Stewardship.”
The Government, through a directive from Principal Secretary in the State Department for Environment and Climate Change Amb. Prof. Julius K. Bitok mobilized all Ministries, State Departments, and public institutions to take part in the countrywide tree planting exercise.
The spotlight this will be on fruit trees, with every public and private primary school expected to plant at least 2,000 trees.
Bitok emphasized the dual purpose of the campaign environmental conservation and improved school nutrition.
“By establishing fruit orchards in schools, we not only combat climate change but also enrich learners’ health and well-being through sustainable access to nutritious fruits,” he said.
