Saplings & Field Support for NGOs
We support partner NGOs from site to survival: choosing native species for each site, supplying healthy saplings, planning planting and protection, training field teams on planting and aftercare, and replacing saplings that do not survive. These are the same methods behind 85% survival across our programmes.
Field support at a glance
- Species chosen for local soil, rainfall and community use.
- Saplings of plantable size from partner nurseries.
- Pit preparation, planting and protection protocols.
- Watering and care plans, with replacement of saplings that fail.
- Field checks recorded on GreenTrack.
What makes trees survive
- Right species, right place: Native and site-suited species, chosen with you and the community.
- Water and soil: Planting timed to rains, with water and soil plans for dry sites.
- Protection: Guards, fencing or community watch, depending on the site.
- Communities who care: Trees that give fruit, fodder or income are trees people protect.
From site to survival
- Site visit: Soil, water, land rights and community needs.
- Species plan: Native and useful species for the site.
- Saplings: Healthy saplings delivered at the right time.
- Planting: Pits, planting and protection, geo-tagged on GreenTrack.
- Aftercare: Watering, care visits and replacement.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply saplings to NGOs?
Yes, for projects run in partnership with us. Species, quantities and timing are planned for each site.
Which species do you plant?
Native and site-suited species chosen for the local soil, rainfall and what the community needs, such as fruit, fodder or shade.
Do you replace saplings that die?
Yes. Replacement is part of aftercare on our projects, recorded on GreenTrack.
How long do you support a site after planting?
Aftercare is planned per project, with most attention in the first years when saplings are most at risk.
What survival rate do your projects achieve?
Survival across our programmes is 85%, counted per project from geo-tagged tree records.
