The study assessed the problems and prospects of tree planting in Kano metropolis, employing a mixed-methods approach utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Simple random sampling was used in selecting LGAs, 180 questionnaires were administered and retrieved using proportional allocation. Data screening, organization, and analysis, including descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were conducted using SPSS version 23. The result revealed demographic characteristics of the respondents, indicating that the age group between 20-30 years had the highest response rate, with 64% of respondents being male and 36% female. Additionally, singles constituted the majority of respondents (64.91%), while urban dwellers accounted for 76.61%. The occupational distribution showed that 39% were business people, with farming and civil service having the lowest representation at 15%. In terms of educational qualifications, HND/BSc holders comprised 38% of the respondents, while FSCL had the lowest representation at 4.7%. The research also identified challenges in tree planting among urban dwellers, including inadequate land, tendering to maturity, lack of public enlightenment, low private involvement, poor government policy, poverty, and insufficient funding and planting materials. These challenges were emphasized with a Likert mean score of 3.025. Solutions include initiatives such as tax breaks, subsidies, and green space regulations can incentivize tree planting, while collaborative efforts involving public-private partnerships and community-based education campaigns are vital for widespread awareness and active involvement. Adequate funding remains a linchpin, and its securement through diverse channels ensures the long-term success of tree planting programs. Effective land use planning, incorporating zoning regulations and strategic establishment of nurseries, further contributes to a resilient and green urban environment. By addressing these facets comprehensively, cities can navigate challenges and cultivate thriving urban forests that benefit both the environment and the well-being of their residents.
