Dear All, Am a trained Forester and would be keen to know about the progress of these seeds. For sure it will be so sad if these seeds are left in office coffers and loose their viability.
We really need to plant as many trees as we can. We have land but lack the technical knowledge of putting it in proper use. Tree planting is a good venture which is expensive in the beginning but the benefits acrued in the long run is much. Mukwano Group of industries is currently planting apples in Zombo District. How many people are aware that apples can grow in Westnile? Let's be the champions to put our land into proper use.
