Description

Planting trees are a wonderful way to commemorate special events, give a gift, and support a child from Bongomek Minority group from Bungoma County access education. Trees provide a host of benefits whether they are planted in your own back yard or across the globe. Trees can, like sponges, help sequester carbon and thereby reduce the impact of man-made CO2 emissions. Locally, trees provide habitat for wildlife, food for people and animals, and stabilize the soil. A gift of a tree lasts for generations.

We believe life is better with trees.

Our neighbourhoods feel better places to live and work in when they're green.

Our farmland and countryside can produce high-quality food and support wildlife when trees play a part in the landscape.

We all breathe easier when there are beautiful woods in which to relax and unwind.

And yet the KENYA needs more trees. We are one of the least wooded counties in KENYA and trees,bamboos and woods continue to disappear from our landscapes. This is why we plant trees on our land and support people, organisations and partners to help make trees part of their land.

There are many excellent reasons to plant trees, so deciding which benefits matter most will help you choose the right species and planting plan. What would you like to achieve?
