A Great Partnership - Our team, some tropical forest seedlings and Tree-Nation!

Whilst Spring slowly comes to Europe, down by the Equator in Boré it is lovely and our nursery workers are busy propagating the next batch of carbon absorbing trees. Decent employment is hard to come by for rural women in sub-Saharan Africa so its great that the long term support we receive through Tree-Nation is enabling us to expand our planting capacity and create jobs for women like these.

Mashaka Maitha - 42, 6 kids.

Pennina Riziki - 30, 2 kids.

Mapenzi Katana - 28, 1 kid. 

Kanze Kazungu -  38, 5 kids.

Here the team are seeding filled pots with Neem for planting out after the seasonal rains in April/May.

Here more workers squat amongst the leafier seedlings

After the women have finished their days work, these beautiful baby trees carry their work of growing and removing carbon from the sky.

                                 Thanks to the seedlings, Thanks to the women and Thanks to Tree-Nation. 

                                                                                We're all in this together ;)
