In an effort to protect the Barekese Dam from massive destruction due to encroachment by some farmers, the EPA, the Forestry Commission, and some members of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) have embarked on a tree-planting exercise.
About 1,500 trees are targeted to be planted around the dam.
Mr.
Kofi Arhin, a Forestry Commissioner speaking in an interview, disclosed that it was disturbing how people were encroaching the dam with impunity.
