Restore Seeds Into Seedlings Through Polythene Bags

An Arbor Day celebration in Sierra Leone typically involves large-scale tree planting events, often focused on community engagement, where residents, schools, and organizations come together to plant trees in public spaces, with a strong emphasis on educating people about the importance of trees for the environment and climate change mitigation; initiatives like "Freetown the Treetown" highlight this focus on urban tree planting and community involvement in caring for newly planted trees.
