The N/a'an ku sê Forest Revegetation Conservation Project, as part of the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy, involves the construction of economically viable and ecologically sustainable nurseries in Namibia. Indigenous species of seeds of various native trees and shrubs species are collected and propagated using recycled water. They are then planted into areas where existing native vegetation has been reduced or lost because of human interference. The project provides employment opportunities and associated training for the local community in nursery and vegetable garden operations, plant propagation, forest revegetation and conservation. This also contains sustainable land use, no monocultures but instead diversity, sustainable waste management in the form of making our own compost and using recycled water to water the plants. In order to reach our aims, we plan to set up 100 nurseries throughout Namibia, in which approximately 1000 trees a year will be planted out.
