The forest of KPD Designer Maker

I design & make wooden products. Each piece is created with attention to detail and fine craftsmanship. It is important to me to contribute back to both the source of materials I use and the environment. Help KPD plant as many trees as possible!

When we wait for the rains to come then sometimes the seedlings need a bit of irrigation to keep them from getting thirsty. Lois shows how one woman can carry 10 jerry cans from the planting site back to the watersource for refilling. Well done Lois!
