NRM is the Natural Resource Management Unit of SEISUD. In particular, the NRM project focuses on tree planting, in order to mitigate the local effects of climate change and to sequester carbon.
NRM has already established a tree nursery to grow seedlings in an area with a reliable water supply. We plan to raise up to 15,000 seedlings each year after recruiting a staff of up to three. Those staff will actively promote tree planting throughout the region, create a training package for tree planing for farmers and schools, and maintain a distribution schedule for seedlings to (1) farmers, (2) schools and (3) other organizations.
We have established our tree nursery and are seriously growing our first seedlings. We plan to begin the distribution procedure in the near future. With the support from the Peace Corps Ghana, we are certain to sustain the nursery all year round.
