Trees: We LOVE them - Our Micro Forest Project with the Local Community
Trees: we love them. This area, lake Natron, some 50 years ago was a very different landscape. So thick with forests, it was also resplendent with rhino, buffalo and elephant, or so Maasai elders tell us. Our micro forest project is an engaging way for camp visitors or visitors to the area in general to assist reafforesting this area with indigenous trees. In doing so capturing carbon, educating local communities to the benefits of habitat restoration, mitigating the impact of droughts and floods and providing more space for both mega and micro flora and fauna to thrive.
You can plant a tree too. Just ask for our community liaison and project manager and our team will assist!
