The Sidi Maafa forest in Oujda, Morocco, is undergoing a major rehabilitation project aimed at restoring its ecological health and enhancing its recreational value. The initiative, launched by local authorities, focuses on reforestation, cleaning, and infrastructure improvements.
According to reports, the project includes planting native tree species, removing invasive plants, and creating walking trails for visitors. The forest, a popular green space for residents, had suffered from degradation due to overuse and lack of maintenance.
Local officials stated that the rehabilitation is part of a broader effort to preserve natural areas in the Oriental region. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with ongoing maintenance planned to ensure long-term sustainability.
