National Tree Planting Day.

About the ROOTs Campaign and The National Tree Planting Day 2026.

The “Running Out of Trees (ROOTS)” Campaign is a nationwide tree-planting initiative that aims to plant one tree for every Ugandan annually. In September 2014, during the Climate Change Summit, Uganda pledged under the Bonn Challenge to restore 2.5 million hectares of degraded landscapes by 2030. It is on this basis that in 2019, the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE), through the then Forestry Sector Support Department (FSSD) and now the Department of Forestry Management, partnered with private sector stakeholders, development partners, civil society organizations and other non-state players to launch this initiative.

The loss of forest cover has had far-reaching consequences, with climate change among the most significant. The ROOTs Campaign, focusing on reforestation, restoration and forest conservation, aligns perfectly with the Government of Uganda’s commitments and aspirations to address these challenges. The ROOTs campaign runs year-round and culminates annually on National Tree Planting Day (NTPD), held on the first Friday of October. This year’s NTPD will take place on Friday, October 2, 2026, at the National Forestry Resources Research Institute in Mukono.
