    "content": "THAT, AWARE of the crucial role played by indigenous trees in purification of air and combating of climate change, protection against floods and water pollution, in the field of medicine, nutrition and timber production, among other roles; APPRECIATING that the National Government, through the National Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration Programme, plans to increase the national forest cover to 30 per cent by planting fifteen (15) billion trees and, in furtherance of the Programme, gazetted 13th November, 2023 as a Public Holiday to allow Kenyans to plant trees; CONCERNED that the Government is yet to establish elaborate measures for the growing and protecting of indigenous trees and to involve such crucial players as the County Governments, hence impeding the sustainability of the programme; NOW, THEREFORE, the Senate urges the 47 county Governments to set aside land and resources to be used in the planting and protection of indigenous trees, in support of the initiatives by the National Government."
