In partnership with
From seedling to forest
Our three-phase model goes beyond planting: we stay until forests can stand on their own.
Match and plant
Native species matched to soil, climate and water, planted in the best seasonal window.
Care and establish
Mulching, weeding, protection and gap-filling until young trees are established.
Grow into forest
Mixed species and natural regeneration grow into self-sustaining, biodiverse forest.
Hand over to communities
Formal handover to Community Forest Associations protects forests for the long term.
How we work
Three principles guide every restoration programme, from the first site survey to long-term care.
Landscape scale and measurability
Interventions that deliver measurable hectares restored, survival rates and watershed outcomes.
Community stewardship
Community Forest Associations and local institutions co-design, implement and steward sites.
Policy alignment and rigour
We work within national laws and KFS and KEFRI guidance for technical and legal compliance.
