Public participation is also important in this arrangement, even before the policy is implemented. There is need for public participation so that people get to know about community forest associations.

We all know the benefits of preventing soil erosion, so county governments need to take this with a lot of seriousness. County governments are allowed by the Constitution to generate money. They can benefit if they do tree planting well. It is possible for them to get money through trees, because the Constitution allows them to collect own-source revenue. Sometimes county The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
