1. BOOKS FOR TREES

We have partnered with BOOKS FOR TREES organisation to set up a travelling library for schools with interest in our restoration work. The travelling library has books with nature based topics as well as books which are being used in the current Ministry of education syllabus .When one school is done with a set of books, they are taken to the next schools who needs them, and new set is brought in, hence the name travelling library. 

Forest Protection

Due to constant destruction of the indigenous trees on the hills by the community, Protection Patrols of hills by our volunteer forest guards was the only possible strategy to employ. This was after massive awareness campaigns and community staking meetings where we shared with the community on the need to protect, restore and conserve our hilltops. We focused more on the disappearing valuable trees like olea Africana, kigelia Africana and others which needed to be given time to regenerate .This also helped control grazing by restricting grazing to certain areas of the hills .

These hilltops are the lungs of our environment and so we need to listen and act swiftly. Protection prevents emissions from deforestation, shields that carbon, and enables ongoing carbon sequestration and their biomass and soil, forests are powerful carbon storehouses. The future benefits of forest conservation will include biodiversity protection, non-timber products, erosion control, pollination, ecotourism, and other ecosystem services..
