The Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK) has sustained its commitment to environmental sustainability and climate resilience with the planting of a total of 1,280 trees across various locations in the State in March 2026.
The tree planting exercise, carried out across several Local Government Areas (LGs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), reflects the State’s deliberate efforts to enhance urban greening, improve air quality, and mitigate the effects of climate change.
According to LASPARK, throughout the month of March, trees were strategically planted in schools, public institutions, residential estates, road setbacks, and community spaces to ensure widespread environmental impact and community engagement.
A breakdown of the exercise shows that Ojokoro LCDA recorded the highest number with 373 trees planted at Millennium Housing Estate, Ijaiye, followed by Epe Local Government, with a combined total of 231 trees planted across Epe Grammar School and key road setbacks.
Ejigbo LCDA had 124 trees planted at Chrisland College, Idimu, and Ijede LCDA accounted for 215 trees across multiple public institutions. Other benefiting areas include Imota LCDA (180 trees), Eredo LCDA (50 trees), Igbogbo-Baiyeku LCDA (80 trees), and Ikeja LG (27 trees).
The trees planted featured a mix of ornamental and economic tree species such as Ashoka, Queen Palm, Yellow Elder, Cassia, Frangipani, Bougainvillaea, and Dwarf Coconut, carefully selected to suit the urban landscape while delivering ecological and aesthetic value.
LASPARK reiterated that continuous planting of trees is a critical component of its environmental strategy aimed at creating a cleaner, greener, and more livable Lagos. It also emphasised the importance of community participation and partnerships with schools, residents’ associations, and institutions in sustaining the initiative.
People residing in Lagos are also encouraged to nurture planted trees and embrace environmentally responsible practices to collectively safeguard the future of Lagos.
