Masaf plants 1.3m trees in LL

"Lilongwe district forestry officer Tresa Mvula said indigenous varieties were preferred beacuse they are good in moisture retention as compared to exotic ones. She said the indigenous trees will help conserve the catchment areas along Lilongwe, Nathenje and Nanjiri riversm among others. Last year, the district planted 2,5 million trees, 70 percent of which survived".
