Forest Garden Program

Forest Garden Program, Sénégal

Our project aims to create sustainable forest gardens by partnering with local farmers. In a region needing rejuvenation, we train 500 farmers in sustainable land management, develop tree nurseries, and plant 2,000 trees per farmer, for a total of 1,000,000 trees. This initiative not only restores the land but also ensures food security and generates income for the farmers. The project has been recognized with the World Restoration Flagship Award

Plant, monitor and repeat. This is a must when planting. We always have to check the health of the trees, how tall the have grown, how green are their leaves. This way we know what we must do for them to continue growing into a full adult tree.

Pour mes parents

This is our Forest Garden approach: Farmers plant 2,500 fast-growing trees around the perimeter of their land to create a living fence that protects crops, stabilizes soils, and infiltrates water back into the ground.
