The Greater Accra Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has dismantled unauthorized structures on parts of the Dodowa forest, which has been designated a security zone.
This action follows concerns from the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs about increasing encroachment by private developers.
In collaboration with the Forestry Commission, REGSEC also conducted a tree-planting initiative to rehabilitate the affected forest areas post-demolition.
Daniel Titus Glover, the Regional Minister and Chairman of REGSEC, explained the initiative to the press.
The local youth of Dodowa have shown enthusiasm and support for the government’s efforts to restore the forest.
