This initiative is part of the #FreetownTheTreeTown campaign, with funding support from the World Bank and Bloomberg Philanthropies.
An additional 35,000 mangroves will be planted in the coming weeks. A total of 289 Kroo Bay residents participated in the planting, working together to restore the local coastal ecosystem.
