🌿 Validation Session on the Nakuru Forest Management & Landscape Restoration Bill 2025 🌿

Wednesday 5th December 2025 marked a significant milestone as stakeholders came together for the validation session of the Nakuru Forest Management and Landscape Restoration Bill 2025. This landmark bill will be instrumental in the establishment and proper management of county forests, as well as the greening and restoration of our natural spaces across Nakuru County.
A key highlight of the session was the recognition of the critical role to be played by WRUAs and other community-based organizations in the restoration, protection, and sustainable management of our natural resources. Community participation remains the backbone of successful environmental conservation.
We are proud that our WRUA was well represented by our Chairman, Secretary, M&E Chairman, alongside other dedicated members from the upper, middle, and lower zones. Various stakeholders actively presented their views and proposals for incorporation into the final bill, ensuring inclusivity and local ownership of this important legislation.
Together, we are shaping a greener, more sustainable future for Nakuru County! 🌱

On Wednesday 26th November 2025, we attended a successful stakeholder engagement session in the Kapkures–Barut area as part of the ongoing Water as Leverage (WaL) initiative and the Njoro River Riparian Restoration Project.

The session brought together key leaders and community representatives to discuss restoration priorities, sustainable water management, and the upcoming physical interventions aimed at reducing flooding, improving water quality, and protecting Lake Nakuru from waste and erosion. We were represented by Mr. Philip Ng’ok – Chairman, Njoro WRUA, Mr. Kamau Muchiri – Secretary, Njoro WRUA, and Mr. Davis Saikwa – Chairman, Barut Chapter along with other members from Barut chapter

Their insights and commitment to safeguarding the Njoro River ecosystem are invaluable as we work together to build a cleaner, safer, and more resilient environment for our community.

A big thank you to all stakeholders who participated and contributed to shaping the next steps of this vital project. Together, we can restore our river and secure our water future.

On Friday, 14th November 2025, the Njoro River Water Resource Users Association (Njoro-WRUA), in partnership with the Barut Game View Association and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), conducted a successful cleanup exercise at Lake Nakuru National Park.

This routine conservation activity brought together dedicated community members and partners with one mission — to protect and preserve our precious water resources. Through the cleanup, we not only improved the lake’s environment but also created awareness on the importance of maintaining a healthy and vibrant lake ecosystem for both people and wildlife.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated, supported, or cheered us on. 🌱💧
Let’s continue working together to conserve our natural heritage.
