Through mentorship and training, rural women and youth-led groups are growing diverse tree species — indigenous, native, and fruit — for local communities and conservation bodies. The nurseries generate income and strengthen community wellbeing.
Save Nature From Extinction is supporting rural women to set up community tree nurseries as a way of creating employment for women and unemployed youth.
Through mentorship and training, these community groups grow a wide diversity of tree species — including indigenous, native, and fruit trees. The seedlings are then sold to the local community and conservation bodies, generating income for the group.
The impact reaches far beyond revenue: these nurseries strengthen community wellbeing and contribute directly to lasting improvements in rural livelihoods.
