Save Indigenous Tree Seeds Before They Are Lost Forever

Every year across Kenya, millions of viable indigenous tree seeds rot on the ground, eaten by pests or destroyed by land clearing — simply because no one is collecting them.

We are launching a community-funded Indigenous Seed Recovery Program to collect, clean, document, and repackage tree seeds that would otherwise go to waste — preserving biodiversity while creating future livelihoods.

🌳 Indigenous & Multipurpose

1. Melia volkensii – Fast-growing, dryland timber

2. Croton megalocarpus (Croton) – Oil, medicine, agroforestry

3. Markhamia lutea – Ornamental + timber

4. Terminalia brownii – Drought-resistant hardwood

🌍 Why This Matters

Indigenous trees are disappearing faster than they are being replaced.

Yet many of these species:

• Produce seeds abundantly every season

• Require no artificial breeding

• Are perfectly adapted to local climates

• Hold medicinal, ecological, and economic value

The problem is not seed scarcity —👉 the problem is seed neglect.
