While growing up in Ichichi Village, Kangema in Murang’a County in the 1990s, Isaac, with his childhood friends, played and grazed their family livestock in Aberdare forest. This, however, did not stop people from stealing their way into the forest to harvest tress. “KFS provides tree seedlings and other facilities such as transport and personnel whenever we have a tree planting drive. According to Isaac, county authorities wanted to create an environmental conservation model similar to that of Lieuten Green Movement. The group plans to plant 10,000 units of trees in Aberdare Forest on the first day of April in a campaign dubbed, ‘Plant One Cut None’.
