Tree Knowers And Growers Zimbabwe

Catching them young :At our Epworth tree planting and nursery establishment we managed to teach children how to grow and plant trees which we believe is the cheapest , simplest and only natural way to curb climate change .

Did some follow-up yesterday, and it was great to see that the #trees we recently planted in Glenorah are doing well! #TreePlanting #FollowUp #treeknowersandgrowers

Yesterday,Tree Knowers And Growers participated in the open streets event in Budiriro 5 .We raised awareness about environmental issues and encouraged the use of alternative modes of transportation, such as cycling instead of gasoline which contributes to Climate Change.

Join us tomorrow, the 19th of October in Budiriro 5 on Dehwe Street for the Harare Open Streets. We will be there!

The rate of deforestation far supersedes that of afforestation .Some 330 000 hectares of forest are lost anually .This issue requires collective efforts as a country hence we strive to reach out to communities and children and inspire them to be tree growers.

To ensure a steady and diverse seed supply ,we have to be familiar with the specific seed production timetables for each tree species, so that we collect seeds from different trees at the right time." @mitimasango @NLinZimbabwe @USEmbZim

Seed collection is an ongoing process as different trees produce various seeds at different times throughout the year.

This baobabtree was just but a small seedling when we planted it at Ballantyne Park, Borrowdale in 2019. During our recent visit 5yrs later, we were happy to see it growing and thriving and it won't be long before it becomes a majestic landmark in the park.
