Harare — HARARE City Council in conjunction with its partners has embarked on an ambitious four-year greening project to plant two million trees as part of global efforts to address issues of climate change.
Harare Greening Project co-ordinator, Mr Percy Toriro, said 250 trees have been planted in Warren Park so far while more would be planted before the National Tree Planting Day next month.
He said ornamental trees would be planted on road verges, major thoroughfares and on centre islands while fruit trees are encouraged at home level. Indigenous trees would also be planted on open spaces that used to have such trees. Harare's trees have been decimated in search of firewood because of erratic electricity supplies.
