On Green Ghana Day, the Ashesi Community members, including its President Dr. Awuah, engage in planting
trees on campus. The hope is to make this a sustained/consistent practice to better protect our environment. In

Additionally, Ashesi campus’ slopes with broad shallow valleys and ridges running in the east-west direction which foster arid conditions. Consequently, the soil’s condition necessitated the use of drought-tolerant plants such as bougainvillea, agaves, acacias, royal palms, the euphorbias, ground covers (rheo discolours), sedum, and coneflowers to sustain the appearance of the campus landscape and to minimize water use for landscaping and campus greening
