As Kenya prepares to celebrate its National Tree Planting Day on the 13th of November, the nation gears up for an opportunity to promote environmental conservation and sustainable practices.
Fruit trees stand out as a practical and multifaceted choice for reforestation efforts. While traditional trees contribute to the ecosystem by providing oxygen, combating climate change, and preventing soil erosion, fruit trees offer an additional layer of benefits.
