Forest Garden Program, Senegal
The Forest Garden Program in Senegal is helping to train local farmers on sustainable land management practices and aims to plant a total of one million trees.
The Forest Garden Program, based in the regions of Fattick and Kaolack, Senegal, is a collaboration between Trees for the Future and a local cooperative called Fepromas. the project aims to help restore around 125 acres of land by training 500 local farmers on the best sustainable land management practices. There will be 2,000 trees planted for every farmer, meaning that the project will plant 1 Million trees in total across the area.
The one million trees to be planted will result in hundreds of lush, sustainable and thriving gardens that will help to rejuvenate the local area, creating increased income for farmers and their families but also creating better food security for the local community.
