We are located at Irasa Settlement, opposite EKSU continuing Education Center, ( Sandwich School) Ado-Ekiti.
From time immemorial, we are known for partnering with educational institutions, communities and community heads, religious bodies, civil society organizations, to mention but a few
What we do:
We collaborate -we collaborate with individuals, communities and organizations (Local and International) who are passionate to carry out our mandates, vision and missions.
For instance, last year we won a grant from an international organization based in UK named Global Green Grants Funds (GGF) to carry out a project on In-situ and ex-situ conservation of indigenous tree species in Ekiti State.
We also won another grant from International Tree Foundation to establish community forest at Iyin-Ekiti.
Secondly, we educate people who are interested in tree planting and environmental restoration.
Conclusively, we donate trees to educational institutions i.e. schools, religion centers individuals and communities. We collect and raise both indigenous and exotic tree & fruits for sale.
