The Tree Nursery program grows the seedlings that make the group's restoration work possible. It supports seedling production, care, and adoption so that climate action has a practical supply of healthy trees.
This program connects directly to tree planting campaigns and the Green Gatundu Initiative. It ensures that community planting activities are backed by local, well-cared-for seedlings instead of one-off campaign moments.
