Feeling stressed from life’s responsibilities or recovering from an illness? Take a rejuvenating drive along the road medians in #Sekondi#takoradi for a relaxing experience!
For the past 5 years, Goshen Global Vision has been a dedicated champion of urban forestry. The benefits of greening urban spaces are immense and essentialโthey help dissipate urban heat, prevent flooding, produce fresh air, and create a calming, peaceful atmosphere while beautifying our cities.
In addition to beautifying schools, churches, and other public spaces, we identified our urban roads as areas in urgent need of a makeover. Almost everyone in Sekondi Takoradi and Effiakwanta uses these major roads, and any improvements will provide immediate and long-lasting benefits for our road users.
With funding from the U.S. Forest Service and assistance from stakeholders like Sekondi Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly, Ghana and Effia-Kwesimintsim Municipal Assembly, we embarked on growing carefully selected tree species and shrubs along these road medians. Our journey began in 2022, focusing on the road medians from Nkroful Junction to Apollo and from Takoradi Technical University(TTU) to Fijai Junction.
At #GGV, we don’t just plant treesโwe grow trees! Constant monitoring ensured our goal survival rate of 100%. Despite challenges like grazing animals, reckless drivers, and even a mentally challenged woman using the median as her home, we persevered.
A few weeks ago, part of our plants were burnt, but our commitment never wavered. We began replacement planting in May 2024, leveraging the rainy season to establish these seedlings properly.
GGV is relentless in our pursuit of a 100% survival rate for all the trees we plant. Our dedication benefits our citizens, our environment, and our planet.
