County Government of Nakuru has embarked on restoring the degraded riparian land around River Njoro and River Ndarugu in collaboration with State agencies, research and educational institutions and environmental conservation lobby groups.
The devolved unit is further harnessing natural wetlands to buffer citizens against climate change impacts and boost resilience.
According to Chief Officer for Environment Mr Kennedy Mungai the county is currently spearheading the planting of indigenous trees, which have been cut down in recent years by illegal loggers and small-scale farmers.
Mr Mungai said they were prioritizing protection and conservation of the Njoro River riparian land that stretches for 3.5 kilometer; from Sigaon Village to Neissuit Center within Neissuit Ward in Njoro-Sub-County and the 5-kilometre River Ndarugu riparian land that runs from Kenyatta Bridge to Piave in Njoro Ward, Njoro Sub- County.
