Project Report | Jun 23, 2015
DNRC April-June 2015 Progress report

By Nicholas M. Syano | CEO & founder

The following are the main activities achieved during this quarter.

The Tree nursery.

During this quarter we were able to propagate 14,350 different tree seedlings making a total of 25, 460 seedlings propagated since Jan this year. This is on target of propagating approximately 55,000 seedlings by the end of the year. Labeling of the tree species in the nursery was also done during the quarter.

Farmer’s training / Outreach program

During the quarter, 213 farmers were trained on gapping and introduction to food forest establishment. 29 farmers and 2 secondary schools were visited at their individual farms and advised accordingly.

Bi- annual party

As part of community regeneration and strengthening social capital; DNRC farmers come together twice per year to eat, share and have fun together. The bi-annual party this quarter took place on 12th of June 2015. Almost all the 430 farmers attended the function and was very successful. Famers had fun, shared ideas and interacted with each other thus strengthening the social fabric. Many visitors including government officials in charge of Kenya Forest service in the County attended the function.

Focus for Next Quarter.

  • Continue to propagate more seedlings in the nursery and general maintenance
  • Continue training farmers and focus on preparation for planting next season
