A Murang'a water company has launched an environment conservation programme, 'Linda Mazigira' targeting to plant more than three million tree seedlings.

In the programme, Murang'a Water and Sanitation Company (Muwasco) is collaborating with other stakeholders from the county and among other organizations to distribute indigenous, fruit and ornamental tree seedlings to local communities.

Muwasco Managing Director Engineer Daniel Ng'ang'a on Wednesday said the programme aims to conserve the environment ensuring there is continuous access to water to be distributed to local households. "In this programme, we will distribute more than 3 million seedlings to local communities.

The trees will help to conserve the environment and restore water towers," said Ng'ang'a when he launched the initiative at Maragua town.
