Empowering the Next Generation: Youth Training on Tree Nursery Setup and Management in Tinet-Chemoson

The Masaita Ogiek and Chemoson Ogiek Youth Groups are thrilled to host an exciting and impactful Youth Training on Tree Nursery Setup and Management in Tinet, Chemoson — made possible with the generous support of Cultural Survival!

This hands-on training brings together passionate young people eager to learn the vital skills needed to establish and maintain successful tree nurseries. Participants are diving into essential topics such as site selection, seed collection, germination, grafting, and much more.

Our sessions emphasize the crucial role of native trees in restoring ecosystems and conserving biodiversity. Through interactive demonstrations, youth are also gaining knowledge in sustainable water management and eco-friendly pest control — all key to nurturing healthy, resilient saplings.

This training is more than just education — it’s about empowering youth to become active stewards of the environment and lead the way in local reforestation efforts. Together, we’re planting the seeds of a greener future!
