11.11 Tree Mission – Uganda 🌳

Restoring Land. Strengthening Communities.

Kasese District in the Rwenzori Sub-Region of Western Uganda faces increasing climate pressure, including recurrent flooding and landslides linked to deforestation and soil erosion.

This initiative supports watershed stabilization, ecosystem restoration, and community resilience through carefully selected indigenous and livelihood-supporting tree species.

Planting is not symbolic it is designed for ecological recovery and long-term impact.

Campaign Opens: 20 February 2026
Tree Planting Window: March – June 2026
(Dependent on rainfall and field conditions)

Planting will begin during the March–June season to ensure optimal survival rates and ecological sustainability. Participants can join starting February 20 and follow documented progress updates.

Why This Project Matters

This mission connects global supporters with local communities restoring one of Uganda’s most climate-exposed landscapes.

Kasese District, with over 850,000 residents, lies at the intersection of steep mountain ecosystems and flood-prone lowlands.

Recurrent heavy rainfall events have triggered landslides on deforested slopes and destructive flooding along River Nyamwamba and its tributaries. These events are intensified by vegetation loss, soil erosion, and increasing climate variability.

Restoration in this context is watershed stabilization and disaster risk reduction.

Selected indigenous and agroforestry species help:

• Restore slope stability
• Reduce sedimentation
• Protect riverbanks
• Diversify household income sources
• Strengthen long-term ecological resilience

By grounding restoration efforts in local ecological knowledge and community stewardship, the project addresses both environmental degradation and socio-economic vulnerability.

Local schools, community caretakers, and village leaders are actively involved in site preparation, planting, and monitoring. This is not a one-directional support model, but a shared stewardship approach where restoration is co-created with the community. Long-term care and protection are locally anchored to ensure sustainability beyond the planting phase.

Indigenous & Restoration Species

Albizia coriaria – Nitrogen-fixing, soil regeneration
Markhamia lutea – Erosion control, fast-growing
Maesopsis eminii – Canopy restoration

Fruit Trees (Nutrition & Livelihood)

Mango
Jackfruit
Avocado

Final species selection depends on local site conditions and community preference.
