Green Africa Foundation Launches Tree Planting Monitoring APP
The Green Africa Foundation has launched the Plant Your Age App, which has features that will allow you plant a tree and track it to maturity.
This app would give you information on when to prune, when to water, survival ratings and key information that is relevant.
The Plant your Age initiative seeks to enhance and unify tree growing across Kenya, Africa and globally.
What the App Does

According to Ecopreneur the Green Africa Foundation Chief Steward and founder Dr. Isaac Kalua Green, it is important that one plants a tree, gives it a name and embraces it
Speaking when he officiated the ‘Plant Your Age Day’ which is marked every 14th of September, Kalua said there is a challenge for Kenyans not just to sink money into the ground by planting trees they would not take care of, but to see the eventual benefits that the tree gives once it matures.
