Meru County, currently ranked third in Kenya in tree cover, has emerged as a leading champion of the Model Village approach, touted to be the game-changer for Kenya's green future.
Mr Lawrence Muthamia, an economist at the Forestry Department and the focal person for realizing 15 billion trees by 2032, told KNA that with strategic partnerships, citizen engagement, and strong institutional leadership, Meru is well-positioned to become the best county nationwide in tree cover. "We want Meru to inspire the nation.
Let every county adopt the Model Village vision.
Together, we shall grow a greener, safer, and more prosperous Kenya by 2032," said Mr Muthamia.
