Donations will directly fund Kenyan youth groups to start tree nurseries on school grounds. Schools are ideal places to spread the greening of Kenya — they have their own water sources, and planting trees becomes a core activity for environmental education. Seedlings will be transplanted onto community lands, cared for by local eco-businesses, and distributed to more schools to seed new programs. Most of these trees will be planted using agro-forestry methods. Trees are the ecological equivalent of one-stop shop: they restore degraded soil, increase crops, feed livestock, provide building materials and firewood, restore biodiversity, sustain villages, and bring dormant springs back to life — all the while sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere. Planting new trees and bringing back healthy soil on degraded land in the developing world is “...the best means currently known for removing CO2 from the atmosphere When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace and the seeds of hope”– Wangari Maathai Contacts; E-mail: sightsandsoundsofkenya@yahoo Tel: +254 774 903406
