TARDA NAMED KEY PARTNER IN PRESIDENTIAL FRUIT TREE SEEDLING PRODUCTION AND PROPAGATION DRIVE.
Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority collaborated with the Office of the First Lady Kenya – MaMa Doing Good, the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry, Kenya Forest Service and the local community for a tree planting exercise at Corner Baridi, Ngong Hills, where 3,000 acacia tree seedlings were planted in a spirited effort to restore our natural heritage.
TARDA was represented in the event by the Tana Basin Regional Coordinator, with the Authority recognized for its sustained commitment to climate action, catchment conservation and national food security.
During the event, TARDA was requested to facilitate the delivery of 5,000 assorted fruit tree seedlings to State House Kenya, an initiative that will support the establishment of a Presidential Garden and bolster greening efforts in schools across the country—a significant step towards institutionalizing climate action and environmental stewardship at the highest level.
This collaboration is another bold step toward achieving the goals of the National Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration Strategy, in line with Kenya’s climate resilience ambitions and the global call for nature-based solutions. TARDA remains steadfast in our mandate to conserve our vital river basins and ensure sustainable livelihoods for generations to come.
