ABOUT US

Growing change from the ground up.

We connect people, places and practical action to create healthier green spaces, restore forests and protect our natural environment for future generations.

OUR STORY

People-powered restoration.

Nandi Integrated Forum for Conservation is committed to bringing communities together to plant, care for and protect trees while promoting environmental awareness and sustainable natural resource management.

We believe that protecting the environment requires collective action. By working with communities, conservation partners and other stakeholders, we aim to restore degraded landscapes, protect indigenous tree species and encourage responsible environmental stewardship throughout the Nandi region.

Our approach goes beyond planting trees. We promote seedling care, regular monitoring and community participation to improve tree survival and ensure lasting environmental benefits.

  1. 01 Identify community planting and forest restoration opportunities.
  2. 02 Bring volunteers, local communities and conservation partners together.
  3. 03 Plant suitable indigenous trees and provide ongoing aftercare.
  4. 04 Monitor seedling growth and strengthen community ownership.

OUR RESTORATION INITIATIVE

Targeting 10,000 indigenous trees.

Nandi Integrated Forum for Conservation is targeting the planting of 10,000 indigenous trees across four acres at Chepkiep Forest as part of efforts to restore degraded forest landscapes.

The initiative highlights the importance of restoring indigenous vegetation, strengthening local participation and protecting the ecological value of forests in the Nandi region.

Through collaboration with local communities, the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and the Community Forest Association (CFA), the initiative supports a collective approach to forest conservation and environmental restoration.

The work also recognises that successful restoration does not end when seedlings are planted. Follow-up monitoring, seedling care and replacement where necessary are important for improving survival and establishing healthy forests.
