Ms. Adongo explained that Trees are a vital component of our environment and our lives. They provide us with oxygen, clean air, food, medicine, and a habitat for wildlife. Trees also play a crucial role in regulating the climate, preventing soil erosion, and protecting biodiversity.

“We must therefore be part of their growth if we are to reap the intended benefits in the next few years”, says Mrs. Adongo
