In a bid to continue protecting the environment and raising young environmentalists, AYGF, in partnership with NESREA, the Federal Ministry of Environment, and other organizations, visited JSS Kado-Kuchi and Jss Garki 2 to educate the Young Farmers’ Club on the importance of tree planting.
Trees play a crucial role in our ecosystem acting as windbreakers by reducing wind speeds and protecting crops and soil from erosion. Additionally, trees improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen, contribute to biodiversity by providing habitats for wildlife, and help combat climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide.
Educating young farmers on these benefits encourages sustainable agricultural practices and fosters a greater appreciation for environmental stewardship.
50 plants were planted around the school to encourage and further drive home the importance of tree planting and through this initiative, we impacted over 100 students in the schools and educated them on ways to safeguard the earth.
