How it works

Restoration that communities can maintain

Tree nursery and catchment projects connect climate action with water protection, school participation, and practical local stewardship.

  • Identify degraded areas, water catchments, school sites, and forest-region pressures.
  • Build nursery capacity and seedling distribution systems.
  • Support planting, agroforestry, school greening, and community restoration days.
  • Track survival, erosion risks, participation, and catchment condition.

Climate action

Tree nurseries and catchment protection

Community nurseries, school environmental clubs, agroforestry, tree planting, water catchment area management, and forest-region protection.

Nurseries

Local seedling systems

Communities develop nursery skills, seedling production routines, and distribution plans.

Catchments

Protect water sources

Tree planting and restoration support rivers, wetlands, slopes, and water catchment areas.

Schools

Environmental clubs

School clubs can lead greening, awareness, monitoring, and community action.

Monitoring

Survival and erosion tracking

Teams record tree survival, erosion risks, participation, and restoration progress.

Core components

  • Tree nurseries and seedling records
  • School environmental clubs
  • Catchment and forest-region monitoring
  • Agroforestry and restoration plans
  • Community planting events
  • Survival and participation dashboards

Who can use it

  • Schools and environmental clubs
  • Community groups and local leaders
  • Catchment and forest-region stakeholders
  • Youth and women groups
  • Climate and conservation partners

Impact logic

Healthier catchments, stronger stewardship, and visible climate action

The project protects the natural systems communities depend on while creating local ownership around restoration.

Raise

Produce seedlings

Nursery skills, seedling care, records, and distribution.

Restore

Plant and protect

Catchments, schools, farms, degraded slopes, and forest edges.

Monitor

Keep learning

Survival, erosion, participation, and restoration progress.

Project partnership

Use Tree nurseries and catchment protection as a demonstration site, research pilot, or funded community support model
