SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

Installing Community Nurseries

Establishing community nurseries fosters the growth of local businesses and enhances self-reliance while improving the quality of seedlings for reforestation initiatives. In collaboration with the Kenya Forest Service, we mobilize and support communities to establish tree nurseries as an income-generating activity. Fruit trees and indigenous trees are preferred for agroforestry and forest restoration initiatives. With the 15 Billion trees by 2032 target by the President of Kenya, there is need to enhance production of quality seedlings, especially from communities.

Empowering Local Communities

At the core, forest conservation projects empower communities. Trees are vital resources for locals, yet overexploitation can harm forests. Hearts of Green focuses on long-term frameworks and on-site training to enable sustainable resource management, benefiting local livelihoods while preserving forests. We also acknowledge the role of indigenous knowledge, values and culture in environmental conservation
