As part of the ongoing water catchment rehabilitation program under the county's department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Director Elijah Kobia led residents of Gaatia in Abogeta East today in a tree planting exercise around the swamp.
The move comes after the department kicked off a rehabilitation program for Nchuura Hills, which will see the Gaatia Self-Help Group plant over 100 trees around the over 3-acre county-owned land.
Currently, with over 10 water catchment areas rehabilitated so far, Meru’s journey towards a green future is slowly taking shape as the department plans to work with farmers and self-help groups in planting over 5 million fruit trees over the next 5 years.
