Kenya Forest Service probes illegal felling of 350 trees in Trans Nzoia forest. [File, Standard]
The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) has launched investigations after about 350 young trees were illegally felled in the Makunga Forest Block in Trans Nzoia County.
The trees were found cut down and left on the ground at Saboti Forest Station, within the Mount Elgon ecosystem, prompting KFS to deploy enhanced security as it seeks to establish who was behind the destruction.
KFS said the felling appeared to have been deliberately carried out to provoke local residents, but did not identify those suspected of orchestrating the activity.
