In an inspiring demonstration of climate leadership and grassroots mobilisation, the Ketu North Constituency has taken a bold step toward environmental sustainability through a large-scale tree planting exercise under its Green Ketu North Initiative.

The event, held across selected communities in the constituency, brought together a diverse coalition of stakeholders including students, traditional authorities, and security services in a powerful display of unity and purpose.

Leading the charge was the newly commissioned Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) office in Ketu North.

With their strategic guidance and effective coordination, the EPA helped shape the day’s operations into a well-structured and impactful campaign that added momentum to the constituency's climate resilience efforts.

“This is not just about planting trees it’s about planting hope, ownership, and a shared responsibility for our environment,” remarked the constituency’s leadership.

“We are investing in a greener future for generations to come, and we are doing it together.”

One of the standout aspects of the exercise was the vibrant participation of students from Ohawu Agricultural College, Dzodze-Penyi Senior High School, and Afife Senior High Technical School. Their energy and enthusiasm underscored the growing role of young people in the climate movement and Ketu North’s commitment to empowering youth through practical environmental education.

Traditional leaders, including revered chiefs and elders, also made their presence felt, offering cultural blessings and lending moral authority to the exercise. Their involvement served as a strong symbol of continuity between indigenous wisdom and modern sustainability practices.

Support from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and other security agencies ensured the safety and coordination of the activities, while several volunteer groups provided hands-on support throughout the day.

The tree planting drive is part of the broader Ketu North Project, which aims to position the constituency as a model of inclusive, and action-oriented development in Ghana. From climate action to community engagement, the project is rapidly becoming a blueprint for effective local governance.

With each sapling planted, Ketu North is sending a clear message: the path to sustainable development begins at home — with people, with purpose, and with a tree.
