About Us

Greencover Trees Kenya informally started its operations in the year 2015 and formally registered in 2020. We began our journey by locating each vacant place in our community and planting a tree. Our love of trees inspired an initiative that has so far planted more than 100,000 trees in various locations throughout the county of Migori. To us, every tree planted represents a life and hope for a better future. Our passion for nature and the drive to go further and further was sparked by the good environmental impact of what began as an adventure in the planting of trees. Greencover Kenya will involve the community and other key stakeholders to address the effects of climate change.

Based on our experiences, past mistakes and success stories we embarked on a mission to plant over 100 million trees in the region in the next 10 years. It is not just about planting trees but growing that tree to a canopy. The forest remains one of the most important natural assets on this planet, a renewable resource representing an enormous economic value. However, the forest also has a great effect on the environment such as erosion, climate, human and animal life. We have for many years experienced that the deforestation has accelerated alarmingly, giving natural reforestation no chance of recovering. With this continuing, even more dramatic changes in human and animal life are to be expected. It is therefore of great importance for companies like GTK (Greencover Trees Kenya) to find ways to help nature with the recovering process as well as stimulating the commercialized forest industry.
