This interactive map shows the location of trees planted by the Green Belt Movement across Kenya.

Using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) we record the location of the tree nurseries, and monitor the progress of the trees planted to ensure high survival rates. Mapping tree-planting sites ensures that our efforts are helping to restore critical watersheds.

Click on the map to zoom in and see the planting locations and information about the number of trees planted.
