Restoration of Ala Forest Reserve

Apart from tree planting, we also cultivate vegetables both in the field and in greenhouse systems to complement our food production activities.

This integrated approach allows us to enhance food security, improve year-round production, and reduce dependency on seasonal farming.

We propagate ginger using macropropagation techniques in our nursery to ensure the production of healthy and uniform planting materials.

Carefully selected disease-free rhizomes are cleaned, treated, and cut into smaller setts before being placed in a controlled nursery environment.

Tendering young trees in agroforestry is vital for ecosystem restoration — it ensures survival, strengthens biodiversity, improves soil health, and builds a resilient environment for future generations.

If you look closely at the photo above, you’ll notice Gmelina trees interplanted with yam. This agroforestry model was adopted to support local communities by allowing them to cultivate yams while the trees are still young. It ensures optimal land use for both reforestation and food
