From December to April, seeds are carefully planted in community greenhouses. Local, women-owned businesses nurture them by hand into healthy treelings.
In the forest, from December to April, the soil is tested and locations for this year's trees are identified. Geo-referencing, drone shots, and in-person measurements assess the health of previously planted trees.
As the planting season approaches, planting spots are prepared in the forest. Treelings are transported from the greenhouses to their designated planting locations.
Volunteers gather to plant the treelings in their new forest home. Each tree is carefully placed and nurtured to ensure its successful growth.
Careful monitoring of each tree occurs to ensure longevity. Grass is cut regularly to remove nutrient competition from the tree.
Over time, the planted trees grow and thrive, contributing to the health and biodiversity of the forest ecosystem. The cycle continues as new seeds are planted, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
