If you want to escape the hot and bustling activities of main town Fes, head out of town to the Foret d’ain Chkef to the south of town. A walk in this lush green forest will calm your mind after the hectic warmth of the city. This forest has been protected and enhanced by the citizens of Fes to increase green cover in the city. The government has encouraged the creation of nature trails, rehabilitation of trees and afforestation on a mass scale to increase the area of the forest. Students from schools in Fes are often seen planting forest trees around here. Afforestation of trees like Aleppo pine, acacia, eucalyptus etc. have made this once sparsely covered area into a lush green canopy.
