To mark Earth Day 2025, the University of Nairobi Geography Students Society (UNGSS) joined hands with environmental partners to participate in a large-scale indigenous reforestation exercise at Karura Forest. This initiative, led by Friends of Karura Forest in partnership with the Kenya Forest Service, aimed to restore the forest’s ecological balance by replacing exotic tree species with native ones.

On March 28th, 2025, the Department of Geography, Population, and Environmental Studies, along with the University of Nairobi Geography Students Society (UNGSS), organized an exciting academic trip to Hell’s Gate National Park. Located in the Great Rift Valley, the park offered an excellent combination of learning and adventure, allowing students to explore the park’s geology, wildlife, and culture.
