The MCE also stressed the need for timber operators to adopt reforestation practices, replanting trees to replace those cut down.
This, he said, would help maintain the ecological balance.
Additionally, Hon. Acheampong urged farmers to take proactive measures to prevent bushfires during the Harmattan season, which can have devastating effects on the environment and livelihoods.
The “Tree of Life” initiative aims to promote environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods in the Offinso North Municipality.
The launch event marked an important step towards achieving these goals and raising awareness about the importance of responsible forest management practices.
