Uganda Church Swaps Wreaths for Living Trees

Uganda church leaders stopped flower wreaths at funerals for tree planting instead. Their new plan for the years 2026 through 2030 tells all church areas to help save nature against weather changes. The church wants priests to talk about helping the earth during their messages to people. They ask church members not to use plastic bags because they harm the soil.

Every church district must create teams focused on nature care. These teams ensure that empty church lands grow fruit trees, native trees for food, and clean air. Church helper Reverend Canon Ongeng says they made this plan after seeing how people hurt the land around them. The plan teaches farmers better ways to grow crops through better water use and pest control farming methods that keep soil healthy.

Archbishop Kazimba hopes all church areas will use these ideas to handle the changing weather problems. He asked church leaders to team up with government groups and other helpers to reach their nature goals. The church created a group with twenty-four members to check how well each area uses the plan. They made tools to track success in each church district across Uganda.
