National Tree Ambassador Never Bonde initiated a comprehensive environmental project targeting 500,000 trees throughout Bulawayo by 2030. The Ross Camp Police Station hosted Thursday's launch ceremony under the Growing Together theme. Environmental Management Agency representatives, Forestry Commission officials, and Bulawayo City Council members attended the event. Ten trees were planted during the ceremony, with five bearing the names of prominent local figures. Herbert Mutize provided financial sponsorship for the ambitious environmental initiative.
Bonde emphasized the importance of community engagement in achieving the campaign's environmental goals. The project will replace dangerous trees in parks, schools, and government buildings while promoting climate change adaptation. Youth participation remains a priority for sustaining long-term environmental stewardship across the city. Business partnerships will support expanded tree planting activities throughout various neighborhoods. Simon Saunyama from the Provincial Affairs office endorsed the initiative as vital for creating sustainable urban development and leaving positive environmental legacies for future residents.
