Green Scenery was founded in 1989 as a voluntary organization by a small group of teachers at the Government Model Secondary School in Freetown.

Its establishment came about as result of the growing concern of the teachers over the spate of deforestation of the capital and especially the Forest Reserves.

This concern transformed into a concrete action when the teachers organized themselves and started targeting secondary school children within their proximity on issues of environmental degradation and impact of forest depletion.

It was from this humble beginning that Green scenery has been able to calve itself a niche for its current development approach as spelt out in this profile. The organization has since 2001 been transformed into a National Non-governmental Organization. read more
