ACEECA engaged students at Materi Boys High School in Tharaka Nithi County in a tree-planting and climate action advocacy event, planting bamboo and other indigenous species while empowering learners with knowledge on environmental conservation under the School Greening Programme.

Nairobi County Chief Officer for Environment, Hon. Geoffrey Mosira, addresses participants during the Mazingira Day celebrations in Nairobi, emphasizing the county’s commitment to a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable city.

Mazingira Day is Kenya’s national environmental awareness and action day, celebrated annually to promote environmental protection, waste management, and sustainable living.

Community members in Chiakariga, Tharaka Nithi County, have partnered with ACEECA to set up a tree nursery as part of the Restoration of Degraded Riparian Ecosystems Project. The nursery, established on September 30, 2025, features species such as Cassia siamea, Calliandra calothyrsus, Gmelina arborea, and Bambusa vulgaris.

The School Greening Programme is a flagship environmental education and sustainability initiative led by the African Centre for Environmental Energy and Climate Advocacy (ACEECA). This programme is designed to promote environmental stewardship, biodiversity conservation, and climate action among secondary school students across Kenya. Through hands-on activities like tree planting, organic gardening, and climate education, the initiative empowers young people to become active champions of a greener, healthier, and more resilient future.
