Regreening - Treecovery, Restoring Trees In Tanzania
Intervening to help trees previously cut down with viable roots re-grow into trees
Nature-based solutions are now recognised as a key element of tackling climate change. Justdiggit, restores desertified, dry land using proven techniques including tree restoration (Farmer Managed Natural Restoration or Treecovery). All projects are owned and implemented by communities that live off the land. A greener planet is a cooler planet.

Regreening is done together! Shade isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity. Trees not only provide a natural cool-down during the hottest part of the day, but they also play a crucial role in our regreening projects. We're on a mission to bring back millions of trees with the Treecovery technique, aka Farmer Managed Natural Restoration (FMNR) and restore degraded landscapes, one tree at a time. Here in the Dodoma region over 14 million trees have been recovered! Join us in creating a greener, cooler, and more sustainable future for all.
In the imposing presence of Mount Kilimanjaro, here in Arusha, trees that have been cut down but whose roots are still living, are being in the millions! Using a technique called Treecovery ( Kisiki Hai or 'living stump' in Swahili), with selective pruning these trees grow to full size again quickly providing a huge range of benefits to people and planet! It is way more cost effective than planting trees and the survival rate is much higher too.

Using Treecovery (kisikihai), our champion farmers restored trees on this communal land. Despite facing limits on restoration efforts, we transformed the land into a thriving ecosystem. The difference is clear, and the line serves as a visible reminder of the transformation. 🌳🌳🌳

In Tanzania, a combination of deforestation, land degradation and climate change has meant it is often difficult for farmers to grow crops. Using the Treecovery technique, farmers restore trees on their land. By skillfully pruning the right bushes and protecting them, their land is transformed into a thriving ecosystem. Trees bring multiple benefits including nuts and fruits, medicinal leaves, shade, soil improvements and moisture retention in the ground.
