Nderitu in planting trees at the Nairobi National Park- Greenline buffer zone<\/a>. Last weekend, the Foundation yet again provided these givers with an opportinity to make a second visit to the park to see how the trees they had planted are doing as well as an opportunity to see the work that other Corporate Givers<\/a>\u2019 were doing in the Inaugural Walk in the Park.<\/p>\n

Nairobi Greenline Project is a partnership of Kenya Wildlife Service and other corporate organizations such as KenGen, APA Insurance, CopyCat, AAR, TARPO, Interswitch, Alana among others. These organizations aim at conserving Nairobi city’s landmark to create a buffer zone at the park in order to curb encroachment of this unique eco-system.<\/p>\n

As one of its key pillars, KenGen Foundation actively contributes towards environmental conservation<\/a> initiatives through various partnerships such as the GIC and Employee Giver Initiative for the Environment.<\/p>\n

The first edition of the ‘Walk in the Park\u2019 started with great enthusiasim by KenGen staff representatives to participate in the 11Km walk in the park, planting of trees and a picnic at one of the park’s picnic sites. The event aimed at launching the Nairobi Greenline walking trail which when complete will make available a stretch along, but within the park where Nairobi city dwellers can walk, jog, ride bicycles and in time enjoy a variety of picnic sites in a unique environment.<\/p>\n

The walk in the park is aimed to raise funds for the Nairobi Greenline ‘s National park conservation works, which is a home to one of the widest variety of wildlife and over 400 bird species. Eventually, the Greenline walking\/running trail will be open to the public for use immediatlley after the launch event like the karura forest style to enable as many generations an opportunity to enjoy the posterity of our land.<\/p>\n
