Many of the seedlings that were planted in areas that experienced floods were affected, the Kenya Forest Service has revealed. "Forests and areas where rain waters were not stagnating, seedlings survived well," he said. Lemarkoko noted that over 150 million trees have been planted this year by KFS and their partners, stakeholders and environmentalists. He applauded the KFS staff and workers for the notable decrease in corruption-related cases, attributing it to the collective goodwill of the staff. The CCF also noted that they will continue safeguarding planted seedlings and forest vegetation adding that the newly added staffs have been of great assistance in patrols and surveillance.
