Its not enough just to plant trees. Bore project members and officers meet with our key partners, the Kenya Wildlife Service in nearby Baricho to share best practice, learn from each other and network. We are encouraging our members to plant local provenance indigenous species which

Community engagement is a key part of effective tree planting with tropical forest communities. Here local stakeholders meet with project workers to learn about climate resilient afforestation techniques. A mature indigenous tree is happy to provide some shade from the sweltering
