Tree planting and climate education in rural schools

North East Ghana faces longer dry seasons and unpredictable rains. APRED-GHANA integrates climate education into school and community programs.

Students learn about native species, soil conservation, and fire prevention. Nursery beds supply seedlings for compound planting and community woodlots.

These activities link environmental stewardship with peace: shared natural resources are less likely to become flashpoints when communities manage them together.
