Planting 30,000 trees and restoring ecosystems
Inspiring a new generation to work with nature to grow sustainable futures together
What we’re doing
Our local Khmer team — three dedicated staff and a group of amazing volunteers — will build micro-nurseries in villages, schools, and family gardens.
Each 6m x 6m nursery will include:
A tree nursery for up to 500 trees
A composting system
An organic, wheelchair-accessible vegetable garden
These small but powerful nurseries will teach sustainable vegetable production, native tree cultivation, and self-sufficient composting methods — while producing thousands of trees and fresh food each year.
We’re working in partnership with Karuna Battambang Organisation and Jesuit Services Cambodia, with land provided by the Catholic Mission in Tahen Village, Battambang.
Project Phases
Phase 1 (April–May 2025)
Build the first demonstration micro-nursery in Tahen Village and create educational materials to share the methods.
Phase 2 (June–September 2025)
Expand the existing tree nursery in Tahen from 2,000 to 5,000 trees, creating our main production site.
Phase 3 (October 2025–March 2026)
Replicate the model in:
Two schools or community spaces
Two family homes with disabled member
How we’re doing it
Our model
Each micro-nursery will grow 500 trees per year, produce its own compost, and grow a variety of organic fruits and vegetables. Hosts will manage their nurseries sustainably, selling trees and crops to support ongoing costs.
Our circular model buys back one-year-old trees and provides seeds to new hosts — creating an expanding network of community-led nurseries.
