Trees planted will help restore Ghana’s lost Forest

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality, Mr Benjamin Kessie led the exercise at the Fiaseman senior High to record this year’s Green Ghana day.

Last year, the assembly celebrated the day at the Ghana Manganese Company limited premises at Nusuta Wassaw, of which the seedlings survived.

Mr Kessie explained that: “The programme, which was initiated by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo last year, was to mobilize and rekindle the spirit of restoring our degraded environment, adding,” the Climate is changing from good to bad and even to worse, so we need to restore the environment to sustain our very existence.”

According to the MCE, “Many disasters had occurred in this country because we do not adhere to the proper upkeep of our environment and sanitation, so, we are putting all these together to make sure that we live as human beings and claim the goods works the creator has made and we cannot do that when we do not have a clean environment,” he added.

The students were therefore conjured by Mr Kessie to take good care of the planted trees to ensure the beauty of the school’s compound.

Every household in Tarkwa-Nsuaem should cultivate the habit of planting trees. At least, if not for nothing at all, for our own survival.”

Mrs Evelyn Oduro Ampomah, Assistant District Manager Forestry Services, Tarkwa Division, stated that “trees are important to our existence because they provide human beings with oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

She advised the student to share their acquired knowledge on the significance of planting.
