The Rural Infrastructural Coordinating Unit of Local Government and Rural Development has provided assorted natural resource management tools to 18 communities in Nkoranza district to encourage and support the people to plant trees and to protect water bodies in the district. The items worth several millions of cedis included rakes, pick axes, wheel barrows, axes, hoes, watering cans, head pans, cutlasses, bicycles and a motorbike. Mr. Ebenezer Amoah, Nkoranza District Planning Officer, who distributed the items to leaders of the communities, said the tree planting exercise was a programme under the Community Based Rural Development Project aimed at helping to improve the living conditions of the people in rural areas. He said the forestry department would provide tree seeds for the communities to prepare nurseries for the exercise. The main tree species to be planted are acacia, mahogany and odum. The beneficiary communities are Yefri, Bodom, Pinihe, Senya, Konkrompe, Busunya, Bonte, Boabeng and Fiema. Others are Dandwa, Akropong, Bono-Manso, Nyiahiamoa, Asuoti and Dwenem. Mr. Amoah asked the community leaders to organise the people towards the execution of the project to enhance the development of the communities. Communities under the Yefri area council were adjudged as the overall best in the tree planting exercise in the area and the community based rural development project presented a motorbike to them.
