Who is involved in the National tree planting exercise? Various stakeholders will support and

participate in tree planting activities. For the eastern regime rainfall season, we shall engage stakeholders

in specific build-up activities, so they can support the tree planting events for example the Kenya Private

Sector Alliance (KEPSA), Inter Religious Council of Kenya, NGOs, local farmers, schools and colleges, within

the targeted communities. All Kenyans, young and old are encouraged to go out and plant as many trees as

possible this year as we seek to reverse environmental degradation by doubling forest cover.

How can I be involved? All Kenyans are

encouraged to grow trees. In order to ensure that the trees are well taken care of after the planting season, learners in schools are encouraged to adopt a tree. Various institutions are encouraged to adopt forests and encourage staff to take care of the trees.

Where can I get tree seedlings?

The Kenya Forest Service Offices, Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Offices (KALRO) and privately owned nurseries. There will be Forest Officers available to provide guidance on tree planting methods and suitable trees to plant. A full list of tree nurseries per County can be found in this brochure and on the websites of the following institutions: Ministry of Environment, MoE, KFS, KEFRI, KMD, KARLO, KWTA, NEMA, NETFUND, NEC, DRSRS, CDD.

What is the National Tree Planting Campaign? The Campaign is aimed at mobilizing Kenyans to embrace the culture of growing trees, so that they can contribute to increasing our national forest cover, enhance environmental sustainability and improve livelihoods. The government targets to grow at least 1.8 billion trees by 2022.

THE NATIONAL TREE PLANTING EXERCISE

FOR THE OCTOBER TO DECEMBER 2018 SHORT RAIN SEASON

Introduction: Deforestation, degradation of forests, desertification as well as global warming are some of

the major threats to sustainable development that continue to negatively affect the lives and livelihoods of

millions of people. The constitution provides for the right to a clean environment to all the people of

Kenya. In the same spirit all the citizens of Kenya are called to work together towards establishing and

maintaining a 10% tree cover according to the Constitution of Kenya article 69.

His Excellency the President has invited all Kenyans to rally together to achieve this goal by year 2022 for

the forest sector’s contribution to the big four agenda: access to affordable universal free health, food

security, affordable housing and manufacturing.

Consequently, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoE &F) has organized a National tree planting

exercise as part of its campaign to increase forest cover to 10% by the year 2022. The MoE & F in

partnership with the Ministry of Education (MoE) and other stakeholders has initiated a campaign

focusing on growing trees (including fruit trees) in schools, Technical and Vocational Education and

Training Institutions, Colleges and Universities, farmlands and drylands during the short rainfall season,

October - November - December 2018
