This platform provides guidance and tools to support restoration and plant conservation efforts in Tanzania, with a strong focus on native tree species. We aim to guide conservation actors by offering tools and resources tailored for native tree seeds and seedling production. These materials include guidance on species selection, seed collection, processing, storage, species identification, phenology and propagation.
