A grassroots organisation is working to restore and maintain 2,500 hectares of land along Lake Ol’Bolossat and the Ewaso Nyiro River in Nyandarua County over the next four years.
As part of this effort, the Community Organisation for Positive Impact, Care, and Development (Copicad) is focusing on the restoration of 2,500 hectares of degraded ecosystems across the slopes of the Aberdare landscape by 2030, while also ensuring verified survival and long-term maintenance of restored areas.
According to Copicad’s CEO, Thomas Ndiritu, the project aims to address the livelihood challenges faced by smallholder farmers by integrating trees into farming systems. He explained that the initiative is designed not only to restore the environment but also to strengthen household resilience and improve sustainable livelihoods within the community.
