Kijani Forestry

Gulu, Uganda

Kijani Forestry works with local communities and smallholder farms throughout Uganda to support sustainable agroforestry as well as to plant and tend to native trees. Terraformation is helping the organization establish a central seed bank in the city of Gulu, with the goal of storing and distributing seeds for nursery hubs across the country and providing access to seeds for rural farmers and foresters. Since launching our partnership, Kijani has stored 7,825,000 native seeds in its seed bank.
