BORANA
Michael Dyer founded The Seven Elephants Tree Nursery in 2000, inspired by a similar venture in Kenya's Rift Valley.
This tree nursery now produces more than 30,000 trees annually for reforestation efforts on the ranch and in the surrounding communities. An on-ranch recycling effort now supplies most of the containers for the trees. Dozens of multi-purpose species are produced.
All the indigenous species are used for replanting denuded areas in the wild, while the exotic species are produced to supply agro forestry that in turn supplies timbers, fruits, fodder, fibres, medicines and trees for erosion control.
