Reforesting with the Kaingang indigenous nation

The project proposed is to build two large nurseries, employing four full-time workers and producing around 100,000 trees each per year.

Many of these trees will be given to other tribes and communities, with the intention that they too will begin to regenerate their lands and recover ancestral modes of living in harmony with the earth.

The first two nurseries can be built and staffed for £3000 each, clearing the way for more projects in the future.

We are looking for 13 schools in the Brighton area to twin with 13 schools in the reserve - details of the school scheme here.
