Talent Garden Coaching Forest – 25 trees in Kenya

Description

Talent Garden Coaching Forest

This reforestation package is intended to be an exclusive offer for the organization Talent Garden Coaching (www.talentgardencoaching.com)

The project entails the planting of 25 trees in Kenya. The estimated total CO2 offsetting power is expected to be on average 3,750 KGs. 

The project aims at protecting and restoring forests on a massive scale by involving local farmers and creating livelihoods for people living in extreme poverty by offering them the dignity of employment and the possibility to become transformational agents of global forest restoration.

 

Afromontane – Kenya

CO2 Offset per tree: 730 KG
Average Lifetime: 100-250 years

The projectIn Kenya, Afromontane forests cover only 0.5% of the country’s land area. The Afromontane forests occur along the mountainous regions of Africa but generally they only occur in well-watered areas, including ravines and south-facing slopes. The Afromontane forests are intolerant of fire, and the frequent fires of the surrounding fynbos, savanna, and grassland limit the expansion of the forests. Despite their small area, the Afromontane forests of Kenya produce rare tree species, responsible for high CO2 absorption.

By financing one tree in this project, you will plant one of the following Afromontane trees (funds are equally split among species, in order to support biodiversity):

Acacia gerrardii;
Avicennia marina;
Acacia kirkii;
Maesopsis eminii;
Bruguiera gymnorhiza;
Acacia xanthophloea;
Markhamia lutea;
Juniperus procera;
Ceriops tagal;
Bridelia micrantha;
Myrsine Africana;
Rhizophora mucronate;
Calodendrum capense;
Nuxia congesta;
Sonneratia alba;
Cordia Africana;
Olea africana;
Cordia sinensis;
Podocarpus falcatus;
Croton machrostachyus;
Podocarpus latifolius;
Croton megalocarpus;
Prunus Africana;
Dodonaea viscosa;
Sesbania sesbans;
Dombeya torrida;
Trilepisium madagascariense;
Euclea divinorum;
Vepris simplicifolia;
Ficus sur;
Warburgia ugandensis;
Ficus sycomorus;
Yushania alpine;
Ficus thonningii;
Zanthoxylum usambarense.

The management of the work, the procurement of resources and materials as well as the survival of the trees over time will be carried out by Evertreen’s planting partner Eden Projects.
