As the School’s Green Initiative Challenge continues, it is important to note activities such as seedling distribution, which occurs twice a year for 100 schools per phase in Embu, Kitui, and Machakos counties. The gapping exercise is done depending on the number of surviving seedlings per school, and the effort put by the school to take care of the initially issued seedlings. The initial issuance is done between February to the end of March, while issuance for gapping is done between September and October. The school community, particularly pupils, teachers, board of management, and parents are involved in planting of the seedlings as per the species specifications.
