EASE has reached a significant environmental milestone with the planting of its 1,000th tree in the Upper River Region, reinforcing our long-term commitment to climate resilience and sustainable land management.
Launched last year, the tree-planting initiative mobilises local communities, students, youth groups, and smallholder farmers to restore degraded land and strengthen environmental stewardship. The programme prioritises native and climate-resilient tree species that support soil conservation, reduce erosion, improve biodiversity, and provide shade and long-term economic value through fruit and timber production.
Beyond environmental restoration, the initiative promotes community ownership and environmental education. Schools and youth volunteers actively participate in planting and maintenance activities, fostering a culture of sustainability among the next generation.
“We are proud of this milestone and deeply grateful to the community members and volunteers who continue to support this effort,” said the Project Manager. “Each tree planted is an investment in climate resilience, food security, and a healthier future for our communities.”
Building on this progress, EASE aims to plant an additional 2,000 trees over the next year, expanding restoration efforts and strengthening community-led environmental action across the region.
