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.

Poultry manure is a valuable organic resource widely used to improve soil fertility and support healthy plant growth, especially in tree nursery production.

Rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, it enhances seedling development while improving

Controlling animal grazing in young forest plantations can be challenging, as it often threatens the survival and healthy growth of newly established plants.

A proven, nature-based solution is the use of Caesalpinia bonduc (Grey Nicker Bean) as a living fence. This spiny, thorny

New Planting Site Alert! 🌿

We’re expanding the Restoration of Ala Forest Reserve Project in Nigeria with a brand new planting site! This location will see over 5,000 trees planted to restore degraded land, boost biodiversity, and support local communities.

Through sustainable

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.

We commenced our tree planting activities in early June. Given the sensitivity of some of the indigenous tree species we introduced—many of which are slow-growing and less tolerant to drought—we adopted an intercropping model by planting plantain and banana alongside them. This approach

Our young forest plantation is just 45 days old, but every tree marks the beginning of a thriving forest. I’ll keep you updated as they grow, because our goal is nothing less than a full, living forest

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

In our project, we believe that involving the community is essential for our reforestation drive. The local people are the true custodians of the land and forests, deeply connected to their environment. By engaging them as stakeholders, we empower them to take an active role in restoring

World Environment Day, celebrated on June 5th, raises awareness about pressing environmental issues, particularly the effects of climate change and deforestation. These challenges lead to biodiversity loss and exacerbate climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
