2000 tree planting drive targets schools

City of Masvingo has held a belated national tree planting day at Dikwindi Primary School under the theme; ‘Trees and Forests for Ecosystem Restoration and Improved Livelihoods ‘, targeting 2000 trees in the year 2025.

Schools will be pivotal in achieving this goal, as the project seeks to collaborate with schools in the planting and nurturing of tress.

The project seeks to engage schools in planting and caring for trees, aiming to foster a sustainable, greener Masvingo.

The tree planting exercise not only strengthen Masvingo’s climate resilience but also illustrate the impact of Nature-Based Solutions in addressing climate changes, building a sustainable future for Masvingo and the country.

The event was attended by distinguished guests, including the Assistant DDC, Mr. Madziva, His Worship the Mayor, Cllr Aleck Tabe, Councilors, Town Clerk, City of Masvingo Management, staff, representatives from government ministries, teachers, parents and school children.
