The forestry department in Kirinyaga has selected Thanju primary school as its school of interest where it will plant more than 3,000 trees.

Forest Conservator Peter Ng'ang'a who spoke last week during the International day of Forests said Thanju was picked as a tree planting centre because of its climatic condition, has fewer trees and enough space to plant more trees.
