In preparation for our tree planting campaign, last week our teams had a tree planting demonstration at the Forestry Commission Zimbabwe from Forester Mutanga. A forester is a person who practises forestry, the science, art, and profession of managing forests.
To say we had an amazing time would be the understatement of the century! Mr. Mutanga is a walking, talking, and breathing encyclopedia. He literally downloaded information into us and we were blown away. Thank you sir.
We are also extremely grateful to the Commission because as we move around the camp sites this week, we are going to have them as part of our teams, helping us demonstrate how to plant a tree. Now how about that!?

Fridays are Field Days!
Today we were in Dimbiti Village ( Marondera Rural) where were participating in the belated commemorations of the Day of the African Child.
Jointly organised by Agriseeds, ZBC, EMA, Forestry Commission and ARDA, this event was a platform to award outstanding children in the Sustainable Agriculture Competition run by Agriseeds as well as promote sustainable environmental practices.
Five students received prizes for best projects exhibiting sustainable agricultural practices and the best performing child was Chantelle Chipatiso whose family hosted the field day at their homestead. As part of today's program, Forestry Commission Zimbabwe established an orchard at the homestead.
This event was held under the theme, '" Promoting Young Sustainable Farmers in a Digital Environment," and the Guest of Honour was the Junior President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, His Excellency, Neville Mavu.

Imagine the iconic Great Zimbabwe without those equally iconic trees found in the Great Enclosure. These trees have been well conserved and are assumed to be as old as the historical monument.
We would like to think these trees add to the history and mystery of the 'House of Stone.'
there are four great specimens of mimusops zeyheri (bot)/red milkwood (eng)/muchechete/muchirinje/mukaurura/svanzwa (sh)/umbumbulu (ndeb) in the Great Enclosure.

National Commemorations of the International day of Families - 19 May
We took tree planting to this national event held at Sengezane Village, Gwanda District in Matabeleland South Province.
The event was spearheaded by the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises and officiated by the Minister, Honourable S. G. G. Nyoni.
Families are the founding units of the society and the culture of tree planting, tree care and environmental stewardship starts at home.
Planting fruits trees does not only improve food security at household level but also play a critical role in mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
A total of 996 assorted fruit trees were planted to mark this event.

Cabinet has approved the National Forestry Policy (NFP), which seeks to promote community participation in forest management and create a platform for building resilience to the impacts of climate change by rehabilitating degraded areas, maintaining and increasing the country's forest cover. The policy, being an important step in addressing deforestation and recognizing the importance of forests and trees outside of forests to food and nutrition security, will ensure that forests contribute effectively to national development, environmental protection, climate change mitigation, sustainable forest management, and benefit sharing of proceeds from the forests.
Cabinet has also approved the Carbon Credit Framework (CCF) which will guide players, benefit communities and protect investors who wish to establish carbon trade-related projects in the country. The framework establishes institutions to enhance transparency of transactions and accountability to ensure that the country gets a fair share of the proceeds from the trade.

The month of May is the Mental Health Awareness Month
The World Vision International (2021) described mental health issues as 'a silent pandemic' affecting young people (ages 15 - 35) who are the most vulnerable to anxiety, depression, su***de etc compared to the general population.
The Greening Kuwadzana Project Acknowledges the link between mental wellness and exposure to natural green spaces, particularly trees. For instance, a 2020 research paper published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that exposure to forests generally reduces mental stress, anxiety, depression, and improves moods.
We are therefore having a campaign on the 20th of May called Tree Care Therapy for Mental Health with Ndinewe Foundation a leading mental health advocacy organisation in Harare. We are inviting you to join us to speak out and plant some trees in solidarity with mental health issues affecting us as young people.

The President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Cde. Dr E D Mnangagwa led in the tree planting event planting an avocado tree in the orchard established at the centre.
Assorted fruit trees were also handed over to the church leader, Bishop Johannes Ndanga by the President for distribution to church members as a way of promoting community fruit tree growing which feeds into the Horticulture Recovery Growth Plan which was launched in 2021.
The program is targeting 1.8 million households to have planted at least 10 fruit trees by 2025.
We are happy that tree planting continues to find prominence in activities happening across all sectors of society.

Trees and Forests(-an imperative) for Ecosystem Restoration and Improved Livelihoods. We are sharing a snippet of a conversation we had with Mrs Chidongo of Mbire District in Mashonaland Central who is demonstrating good environmental practices in the face of environmental challenges faced by her community ranging from prolonged droughts, high temperatures and frequent floods. She has created and managed a safe space for her family through establishment of a fruit orchard, construction of a bio-digester and taking up agroforestry and poultry projects. #foodsecurity #nutritionsecurity #cleanenergy

Good stories of change coming from Mashonaland West, Hurungwe District. Communities are working together to reduce fire incidences this fire season. #zerotolerance to fires #notoveldtfires
#treesarelife Life is in trees. Trees provide us with ecosystem services that sustain our lives
Mashonaland West in general and Hurungwe District in particular have over the years become synonymous with deforestation associated with tobacco-growing in the area. Tobacco growing has been adopted as the major livelihood option by many households and this has had negative impacts on the environment. Forestry Commission and other institutions are making efforts to increase awareness on the need for the local community to sustainably utilize their natural resources and call to action community members to be more involved in forest and land restoration activities. The Zambezi Valley Biodiversity Project currently active in the area, through the Global Environment Facility (GEF 6), has facilitated interventions that allow for rehabilitation and restoration of the landscape through activities like; *Beekeeping; *Woodlot Establishment; *Woodland Management; *Fruit Tree Growing; *Gully Reclamation *Nutrition Garden establishment among other community development programs and activities.
Forestry Commission is attending the African Elephant Conference that commenced today (23 May) and ending on the 26th of May 2022 at Hwange Safari Lodge.

Why new Msasa leaves are red?
Ever wondered why Msasa leaves are sometimes red? Here is why: They have a natural sun screen.
Msasa trees are deciduous and lose their leaves in winter. In late August as temperatures rise again, the new colourful leaves are produced. The colour of the new leaves varies brown, pale pinkish, orange; red to deep maroon. Because of very intense light and high temperatures while the leaf tissue is still very soft, leaves can easily get burnt. For this reason they have a built-in sun screen, a pigment called anthocyanin that colours them red and protects them.
Anthocyanins are a type of flavonoid, a class of compounds with antioxidant effects. Found naturally in a number of foods, anthocyanins are the pigments that give red, purple, and blue plants their rich colouring.
As the leaves expand and harden, they no longer need protection from heat and light and they change to green. The colour shifts to deep green over a period of 10–20 days.

as we trained farmers and interested individuals the fundamentals of Tree Propagation.
Propagation techniques are important in the capacitation of youths in driving the economy towards achieving climate change resilience and poverty eradication especially through a Robust Reforestation Initiative.
This is in line with the vision to make Zimbabwe an Upper Middle Income Economy by 2030, National Development Strategy 1 and the SDGs.

BJ Adventures purposely works with safari and tourism providers who support conservation efforts and who are working to bridge the gap between tourism, conservation and sustainable community development. Just recently we were fortunate to partner with Africa Conservation Travel who collaborated with the Forestry Commission Zimbabwe, and, as the result of our guests staying at Ursula's Homestead (a lodge in Zimbabwe), they were able to provide 42 indigenous trees to the More Community Trust.
The trees were planted at Masuwe Primary School in continued efforts of reforestation, and to create awareness of the importance of these forests for the younger generations. Each of the children at the school were encouraged to adopt a tree, so that they take responsibility to care for and protect it, and the MORE Trust have set up a prize for the best tree per grade at the end of the year as a further incentive.
We are so grateful to know and work with partners like this, and support Zimbabwe, via travel, in this way – something that is more important to do now than ever.

Climate change is one of the most challenging circumstances that is increasingly impacting on society and ecosystems in Zimbabwe and the world over.
Human induced climate activities are causing an increase in greenhouse emissions leading to a rise in the earth’s temperatures subsequently resulting in changing rainfall patterns, heat waves, flooding, droughts and intense tropical cyclones amongst other. The effects of climate change have affected people’s livelihoods by increasing poverty and inequality among the people of Zimbabwe.
Be sure to tune in to tonight's episode of our Radio Drama and let’s work together to avoid a climate disaster.

The Only Sweetest Voice that Nature or the Environment Has is seen and heard in its beauty when it is not disturbed. Do not disturb that beauty, by destroying it because if you disturb it, it will even speak out loudest through climate change. Therefore, respect nature, if you want it to respect you back.
