We started the tree planting
as a pilot project in 2004 following a Bird watching
holiday with Modou Colley. We began by planting
over 200 trees and have since planted a further
200 trees involving the whole of the Faraba community.
We have returned to review the success of
this first season of tree planting and to see
how much damage is being done to the older
forest trees locally. As a result we are now
planning to provide more tree protection as
well as the tree planting. The West African
Bird Studies Association undertakes the main
day to day bird surveying of the areas and
you can find out more about them through www.wabsa.org.uk
The Faraba Community through the local school
oversees the wardening and protection of the
trees.
