As a core component of the Transform Freetown Agenda, The Mayor of Freetown and the Freetown City Council (FCC) set the goal to increase tree and vegetation cover by 50% from 2018 levels by 2022 to address the impact of climate change on the City and its residents. To get there, we target to plant and grow 1 million trees across the 13 Catchment areas of the Western Area Peninsula [Freetown and Western Area Rural District] over the 2020 and 2021 rainy seasons.
