Prudential Bank plants over 200 trees at Achimota Forest to mark 6th year of Tree for Life Restoration
Prudential Bank planted over 200 trees at the Achimota Forest Reserve as part of its participation in this year's Tree for Life Restoration initiative. This exercise marked the bank's 6th year of involvement in the initiative. The trees planted at the reserve add to others it has planted under the initiative over the past six years.
The exercise brought together staff of the bank, officials of the Forestry Commission, and members of the media. Felix Awuku, Executive Head of Operations at Prudential Bank, stated that the tree-planting exercise forms part of the bank's contribution to efforts aimed at restoring degraded forest landscapes in the country. Mr. Awuku disclosed that the bank has maintained tree-planting sites at the Achimota Forest Reserve and at Chipa in the Eastern Region since joining the initiative six years ago. Emelia Oduro, Range Manager of the Achimota Forest Reserve, said the reserve covers about 144 hectares and remains the only forest reserve in the Greater Accra Region. The trees planted included mahogany, milicia, and melina species. Benet Frimpong, Head of Public Relations at Prudential Bank, said environmental sustainability initiatives form part of the bank's broader corporate programmes.
