Abstract
The project had established seven community tree nurseries in the working area, and has planted out over 100,000 seedlings of Pinus, Grevillea and Calliandra. It has trained over 124 farmer groups in enterprise selection. It is now working with these groups and has established three passion fruit nurseries (66,000 seedlings which have all been planted out) and beekeeping enterprises (150 beehives are already active).
