Learners of Kehemu Project School in the Kavango East Region celebrated Arbor Day by planting 55 fruit trees. 

The observation of Arbor Day varies in different countries due to variations in climate and suitable planting seasons. 

In Namibia, it is always celebrated in the second week of October.

City of Windhoek's mayor, Queen Kamati, urged residents to refrain from stealing trees that are being planted in various parts of the city.

Kamati made this call as the City of Windhoek joined the world in commemorating Arbor Day, with 128  trees being planted to foster a green city.

The City of Windhoek (CoW) has expressed concern over the theft of newly planted flowers, trees, and shrubs around the city.

There has always been a feeling that the western side of the capital city is neglected.
