As part of our ongoing tree planting initiative in Foya, Lofa County, the Center for Renewable Energy and Climate Actions: CRECA engaged students from five (5) high schools to inspire the next generation of environmental champions.
A total of 25 students (five from each participating school) took part in an interactive learning and practical tree-planting session. The students were sensitized to the importance of trees in combating climate change, protecting biodiversity, restoring degraded landscapes, and reducing the risk of fire outbreaks. Together with the Forestry Development Authority-FDA, we conducted a practical demonstration on proper tree transplanting techniques, equipping the students with the knowledge and skills needed to plant and care for trees.
To encourage long-term ownership and stewardship, each student received a tree seedling to plant and monitor on their respective school campus. Through this initiative, these students will serve as Environmental Ambassadors and agents of change, promoting tree planting and environmental conservation among their peers and within their communities.
At CRECA, we believe that empowering young people with knowledge and practical skills is key to building a more resilient and sustainable future.
Together, we are growing trees, nurturing leaders, and creating lasting climate solutions.
Thank you RUFORUM Network 🙌
