This initiative to turn a kunai grass hill side into a beautiful forest landscape in Leron in the Markham Valley of Morobe Province is beginning to take shape.
Joel Gedisa who is leading this initiative says four years ago, PNG Forest Authority supplied trees and twenty people were engaged to do the planting.
“We want to set an example to our people that, we can’t wait for the government or non-government organizations to bring changes. We have to create it to better our livelihood.”
There are about 50,0000 trees being planted.
The aim is to empower people to take charge of their lives and where feasible identify a better livelihood option that works for the community.
By planting trees ,we create a conducive space for humans to live in harmony with nature and also create resilient communities in the face of climate change.
