As we are approaching June 5th World Environment Day WED commemoration for 2026.

ECF decided to embark on rapid weekly monitoring fruits and non- fruits planted in the state as part of ECF city Restoration from 2 to 10 years ago and showcase .
Truely we have been greening the state for quite a long time facing numerous challenges but evolving new strategies that get us where we are today
These are locations where we have planted not just one but many in every location
Is quite an interesting exercise as in some locations we left with fruits and had that people have been picking and eating it's fruits for instance the Guava seedlings planted by Her Lordship Justicr N Uwa Supremr Court Judge. She planted the Guava during while she was in Yola Court of Appeal.
Today she is in Abuja and many are eating from the tree.
