Emmanuel Kayumba the health officer in this district says in this greening program, 700 araucaria trees, 2000 Jacaranda trees and 600 Spathodea trees…
These trees are planted on both sides of the main road in Gicumbi town starting from Ruyaga trading center up to Gicumbi stadium and also at the diocese of Byumba Catholic Church. The trees as well as passipalum grasses are being planted by the people that reside near this road.

 Kayumba goes on to say that these trees being planted are replacing the trees that have been in place that are dirtier and scattered in all parts of the town. The trees being planted will make the town more beautiful and tidier when they are grown.

In the program to make Gicumbi town clean and beautiful, the tarmac road through the town is being renovated and another road of stones is being built. Traders and the local residents are being called to put pavements and tiles in front of their shops and houses to make the town prettier.
