Biodiversity Tracking
Every tree we plant is a tree we track.
Live from the field: the species growing at our partner schools, how many are indigenous to Kenya, and how the whole living collection is faring — seedling to mature canopy.

Indigenous first
Indigenous species feed the insects, birds and animals that evolved alongside them — and survive the dry season without irrigation. We track exactly what goes into the ground so the mix stays honest.
Indigenous species1,724 trees · 45%
Exotic & fruit species2,094 trees · 55%
Fruit and quick-growing exotic species (mango, avocado, moringa) are planted alongside natives for nutrition and income — the balance above is measured live from our tree register.
From seedling to canopy
Every living tree sits at a tracked growth stage, updated from field photos and champion check-ins.
