Tree-Nation partners with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and mangrove-adjacent communities along the Kenyan coast to restore degraded mangrove ecosystems through structured, community-led replanting. The project forms part of Kenya's national commitment to grow 15 billion trees by 2032, a program in which mangrove restoration alone carries a target of 1.8 billion trees.
Working with KFS, the project team identified, mapped, and approved suitable restoration sites, ensuring alignment with national conservation priorities and ecological best practices. Local communities are central to the project's approach: they are responsible for seedling production, planting, and ongoing site maintenance, carried out under Tree-Nation's guided supervision. Participating community members receive wage-based compensation for their work, creating a direct livelihood opportunity while encouraging long-term stewardship of the restored areas.
