Sarah Jakata joined My Trees Trust as a seed collector in 2022, since then, her knowledge of trees and their seeds has grown immensely.

 Thanks to our partnership with the United States Forest Service, a seed bank was built in 2023 to protect the seeds from livestock.

Educating communities is key to raising environmental awareness

It strengthens understanding of the vital role trees play and encourages participation in conservation

Most importantly, teaching children ensures that future generations grow up with a deep respect for nature

Tsetse Island has been thriving thanks to the high rainfall. 

Many natural water pans are now at full capacity, attracting aquatic bird life.

The island's vegetation is flourishing too, providing vital grazing for key species

Join us in Harare in March for a conference on Nature-Based Solutions and capacity-building

Zimbabwe’s rich ecosystems play a crucial role in protecting communities and ensuring a stable, biodiverse future

They are a crucial buffer against the severe impacts of climate change

[My Trees @MyTreesTrust]

As we restore indigenous trees and protect biodiversity, we ensure social safeguards that engage communities.

Respecting local knowledge and working together creates a positive lasting environmental and social impact.

Celebrating World Wetlands Day 🌿

Today, we recognise the vital role that wetlands play in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. 

By rehabilitating these ecosystems we help strengthen wetlands, ensuring they continue to support diverse life for generations to come.

@dralexstevenson We operate in the Hurungwe area

The anti-poaching team has covered an impressive 5751 kilometres on foot over the past year—equivalent to approximately 15 kilometres every day, all year long. Thanks to the addition of two off-road vehicles, we’ve been able to enhance our patrols and strengthen ground operations

@dralexstevenson Unfortunately, we don't sell trees, they are reserved solely for our restoration project

[My Trees @MyTreesTrust]

We have established a demonstration nursery at our head office, with a capacity of 33,000 seedlings. This nursery will serve as an educational centre for partners, donors, and funders. It’s a hub for collaboration and innovation in environmental management sustainability.

We've removed a total of 857 snares in 24. Commonly snared species like impala have increased in population and there are fewer reports of large mammals with wire. The large herd of buffalo in Gache Gache, numbering between 400-500, shows very few signs of being snared 🐃

Our Special Projects team has been actively involved in urban greening initiatives, planting over 25000 trees in schools and institutions. By engaging school children in tree-planting activities, we aim to instill the importance of environmental conservation from an early age.
