Kenya Forest Service deputy director Esau Omolo told the launch ceremony at Nyangores Forest at the weekend that the initiative was aimed at to sensitising residents around the water tower on the need to control and coordinate conservation efforts to increase forest cover.
Sections to be conserved are Nyangores, Nairotia and Olenguruone forest blocks.
A plan to rehabilitate and conserve 11,000 hectares in Maasai Mau Forest has been launched.
The new plan, which will involve communities living next to the forest, seeks to restore the Transmara Forest Block.
