Committee Orders Removal Of Obstructive Trees In Nyahururu Town
Updated on: Jul 14, 2020
Removal of hazardous trees on roadsides and near buildings on Nyahururu town streets has started after the approval of environmental committee.
In March this year, the obstructive trees caused four accidents during a heavy rainfall before the committee resolved to remove them. It went around the town and identified all the trees that posed a danger to the residents and marked them for felling.
The committee agreed to plant ornamental trees in order to replace the felled trees, the sub-county administrator Mr Ikinya Matindi said.
The committee comprises DCC, ACC 1, the Forester, the sub-county Environment officer and the sub-county administrator.
The wood would be donated to charitable institutions like St Martins, DEB, Ngarenaro, Starehe and Kwa Wanjiku Special Schools.
Cypress trees are soft wood trees that are exotic in Kenya. They are normally planted to feed the local industry.
