Forestry commission rallies Ghanaians ahead of Green Ghana project
The project, which was launched last year saw the disbursement and planting of some seven million seedlings across the country
The Ministry for Lands and Natural Resource has urged Ghanaians to be responsible for trees they plant in their homes under its Green Ghana project.
The project, which was launched last year saw the disbursement and planting of some seven million seedlings across the country.
“We are asking that Ghanaians who plant, should ensure that they nurture them to grow. If you plant a tree in your house you don’t expect the government official to come there and water it,” the Deputy minister of lands and natural resources in charge of forestry, Benito Owusu-Bio told Asaase News.
He said that the only way to ensure the survival of the plants is for the citizens to consider the exercise as a national campaign.
“It is your duty as a citizen to nurture it for it to grow, for the government official our concern will be the ones on the streets, those are the ones we are concerned about,” Owusu-Bio added.
The second edition of the Green Ghana will be held on 10 June with a target of 20 million seedlings to be planted.
