We are super proud of our community leader in Kenya project who has been invited to teach at a university in Nairobi concerning what he has been learnng and putting into practice about silvo pastoral grazing. Mixing the trees weith the goats and cows has been challenging in numerous ways and many of them do die due to drought and stomping damage. Nevertheless, Dalmas remains commited and continues to help us empower the community to care for the baby trees and also replace them when they die within the first 4 years.
It is dry season for now and we await more updated fotos of tree growth and fotos of the nursery as we continue to produce compost and trees with the womern and youth of the community. We are also exploring replicating to a new community with additional leadership on the ground to help support everyone in the community to conitiue with fair pay tree planting and long term follow up. We look forward to contued work especially as we expand into new communities and create fundraising opportunities with future eco tourism. Oncve the rains start in April 2025, we will beging to review all trees and perform any necessary maintainance for continued growth.
