Kuvimba Mining House started a tree project aiming to plant 100,000 trees across company mines during 2025. They plan to repeat this effort every year as part of bigger environmental plans matching national efforts to increase forest cover. The company wants these trees to help future generations enjoy healthy surroundings. Workers have already begun planting thousands of trees at various sites.
Graduate trainees Vongai Chimbunde and Florence Mangai joined other employees despite the hot weather to place grass patches around Freda Rebecca Mine. They helped fix land damaged during the construction of a new Tailings Storage Facility. Chimbunde, studying mining engineering, believes protecting ecosystems after mining ends matters greatly. Mangai, a SHEQ student, focuses on showing how mining companies can support biodiversity.
The company announced this program at its Bindura operation on Friday. Beyond planting trees, workers also tackle soil erosion problems created by mining activities. Mine director Patrick Shayawabaya explained that they moved lots of soil and plants during recent expansion work. His team already planted 10,000 trees earlier this year, added 800 more recently, and put another 1,000 into the ground that day.
Local officials praise these environmental efforts and hope other mining companies follow the example. Kuvimba Mining House CEO Trevor Barnard emphasized leaving future generations with healthy forests instead of bare land. Chief Chipadze believes the project connects perfectly with nationwide forest restoration goals. This program demonstrates how mining operations can balance resource extraction with environmental protection through practical actions.
