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.
