🌳 25 Years of Service: Kanele Landcare – Rooted in Growth, Branching into the Future 🌿

Since 2000, Kanele Landcare has been a beacon of environmental stewardship, transforming landscapes, empowering communities, and planting seeds of change — literally. In 2025, we proudly mark 25 years of consistent service in tree nurseries and sustainable land care.

This celebration is not just a look back at the years gone by — it’s a tribute to the millions of trees planted, the lives touched, the communities empowered, and the earth healed.

🌱 Our Impact Over 25 Years

From modest beginnings, Kanele Landcare has grown into a key player in Zambia’s green economy. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve achieved:

• Over 10 million trees planted and supplied, including indigenous, exotic, and fruit tree species.
• Hundreds of schools and institutions supplied with trees for afforestation and educational purposes.
• Thousands of farmers trained in agroforestry and sustainable land management.
• Dozens of community nurseries established, creating green jobs and supporting rural livelihoods.
• Strategic partnerships formed with NGOs, churches, schools, cooperatives, and local authorities.
• Significant contribution to climate mitigation efforts through carbon offset initiatives and erosion control.

🌍 Why Our Work Matters

As the climate crisis intensifies, reforestation has become more than a choice — it's a necessity. Trees help:

• Combat deforestation and desertification
• Preserve biodiversity
• Improve soil fertility and water retention
• Reduce carbon in the atmosphere
• Provide shade, food, and economic value

For 25 years, Kanele Landcare has remained committed to this mission — and the results speak for themselves.

🎉 Celebrating with Purpose

Our 25th anniversary celebration will be marked by:

• Tree planting ceremonies across provinces
• Free training workshops on nursery management
• Recognition of key partners and community champions
• Environmental essay and art competitions for schools
• Launch of a new 'Plant for the Future' campaign to encourage every Zambian to plant a tree in 2025

We invite everyone — from government departments and schools to businesses and individuals — to join hands with us as we shape the next chapter.

🌟 Looking Ahead

While we are proud of our past, we are even more excited about the future. Our vision includes:

• Digitizing seedling orders and tracking via a mobile-friendly platform
• Expanding our tree nursery capacity to meet growing demand
• Introducing bamboo and medicinal tree programs
• Creating a nationwide green youth ambassador program

The next 25 years start now — and we need you.

“We didn’t just plant trees — we planted hope, restored dreams, and built a legacy. Thank you for being part of the Kanele Landcare journey.”
