Community Reforestation in Indonesia

Preparing for the rains 🌱 Our dedicated nursery team is carefully watering the seedlings as we steadily approach November’s rainy season.

Before reaching the field, every seedling spends time acclimatizing; learning to stand strong under real sun and wind.

1,000 durian dreams taking root! 🌱💚

Farmers and field team sorting stinky bean (petai) seedlings at Ciminyak Nursery. This activity ensures only healthy and viable seeds are selected for the next stage of germination and planting.

At the Ciminyak nursery, a worker gently sows manglid seeds into prepared beds, beginning their journey from tiny seeds to sturdy trees that will one day help restore and protect the environment.

Rows of durian (Durio zibethinus) seedlings thrive in a well-organized nursery, with 1,000 healthy saplings prepared for reforestation and agroforestry initiatives, set against a backdrop of lush, mountainous landscapes.
Have you ever tried durian?

Young sapodilla seedling sprouting its first leaves—this tropical fruit tree can take anywhere from 5 to 8 years to bear fruit, but the wait is well worth it for its sweet, caramel-like taste!

Another day, another picture from our lovely farmer. He is smiling widely as he carries baskets with seedlings. It is still common in Indonesia to take things with baskets; a simple yet effective way to transport goods while saving energy and reducing reliance on vehicles.
