They were also educated on the advantages of trees especially in controlling soil erosion because of the hilly topography of the area. 

"Trees are a source of life and we should therefore remember to replace a tree every time you cut one," Moses Wachira, the scout commander said. 

The residents promised to take care of the seedlings till they mature.
