Protecting Our Planet, Securing Our Future
Our seasons
From nursery season to the long rains and the honey harvest: how the work follows the weather.
January to February
While the land waits for rain, the work moves into the tree nurseries. Members sow and water native seedlings, and beekeepers check their hives through the heat.
March to May
The long rains are our busiest weeks. Seedlings leave the nurseries for the forest, for farms and for school compounds, while the soil is soft and the rain does the watering.
June to September
Young trees need protecting through the dry months. Members weed and guard new plantings, and as the forest flowers, hives fill and honey is harvested and processed.
October to DecemberNow
The short rains bring a second chance to plant and to fill any gaps. It is also when we look back on the year with members and partners, and plan the next one.
