Community Forest Sowing

Community Forest Sowing, Guinée

Achevé

This project, together with the local NGO Guidre uses a mix of 40 local tree species as mixed plantations are more sustainable + proven to fix more CO2. Seeds are collected by local farmers. Valuing their forest assets promotes agroforestry practices. Seeds are coated with a natural mixture to protect them from insects until the rainy season, then seedballs are dispersed by direct sowing. Nature choses which will germinate (min. 500 trees xha)

So many families are interested in taking part in the reforestation project by arboRise that an innocent hand is involved to chose those who will harvest the seeds or provide their land. Happy to contribute with an additional income for these families !
