About the African Forest
African Forest is a holistic agro-forestry social enterprise, founded in 2006, and based on the edge of Soysambu Conservancy, a 22,000 ha ranch surrounding Lake Elmenteita, in the Rift Valley. African Forest has a 51 ha plot on the edge of the ranch, where they have an indigenous organic tree nursery, with over 80 different species and tree seed centre and trial plantations of Planet Positive Forestry. They also produce and promote, in conjunction with the local communities, sustainable NTFP’s (non-timber forest products) including herbal medicines. Services include plantation establishment and management, reforestation and sustainable development planning and implementation, as well as assistance in raising green finance. In 2015 they will commence planting a medicine woman arboretum, which will cover an area of around 20 hectares.
