The challenges being faced on the nursery are a lack of resources to Construct simple housing structures for the Field technicians to live in. These structures would allow easier accessibility to the Field Technicians enabling them to carry out their tasks effectively. The current method of watering the tree beds is manual and tiresome. Thus there is need for a water pump to draw the water from the wells as well as a water bowser to store the water.2 wheel barows, 5 garden forks and 3 watering cans are required to improve the efficiency of the activities at the tree nursery. Zimconserve has a vision of fencing the 2 acres land and to construct a green house to shelter the plants in the near future. Zimconserve is going to host the National Tree Planting day on the first week of December at Jonasi Secondary School. Zimconserve intends to donate tree seedlings to 29 villages of Seke District and to educate school children’s and villagers about these sustainable trees during this event. l am going to send you some photos on this current project. We appreciate the Leucaena seeds, your precious booklet and the support that you have gave us. Thank you endlessly for being far too kind to us. Yours in Conservation, Gabriel Mutongi
