The focus is on public schools ensuring that they have green fencing, flower beds, and promote the planting of fruit trees in school compounds plus gardens. Through a peer inspiration model, the Green Ambassadors club’s members will adopt the trees and hand them over as they exit school.

Push for establishment of County Climate Action Plans, Establishment of County Climate Action Partnership policies, Youth in Agribusiness Strategies, Renewable Energy uptake regulations uptake

Green-Fence Kenya Campaign.

This initiative is meant to ring-fence
Kenya with a forest fence around its perimeter. Kenya’s perimeter of 3446
Kilometers can accommodate total 2,000,000 trees in good spacing. We
target to Tree-fence it with five rings total 10,000,000 trees by 2027.
