Reforestation & Carbon Offset Projects

Restoration run as a process, not a planting event.

We turn climate and nature goals into measurable restoration on the ground.

Furaha & Baraka Farms (FBF) delivers reforestation, agroforestry and mangrove restoration projects for companies and institutions in Kenya and East Africa, including blue-carbon work at Mwache Block and Tsunza in Kwale County. FBF runs restoration as a process: site assessment, species selection, KEPHIS-certified seedlings from 18 nurseries, community planting, aftercare, replacement and monitoring.

  • 18operating nurseries
  • 15Mseedlings per season, nursery capacity
  • 87%tree survival rate (industry benchmark 75%)

Restoration is a process, not a planting event.

Every step is recorded, from the first site visit to the survival count years later.

  1. Step 01: Assess the site

    Soils, water, land use and community needs.

  2. Step 02: Choose the species

    Matched to the ecological zone.

  3. Step 03: Grow in certified nurseries

    Healthy, hardened seedlings.

  4. Step 04: Plant with communities

    Recorded and GPS-tagged.

  5. Step 05: Aftercare & replacement

    Weeding, watering, replacing losses.

  6. Step 06: Monitor & adapt

    Survival and growth tracked over time.

For partners

What working with us on restoration looks like

What it is
Restoration run as a process: site assessment, species matched to the ecological zone, seedlings from certified nurseries, planting with communities, and aftercare.
What to expect
We assess the site first and agree the species mix, aftercare scope and duration with you before planting starts. Every tree is recorded and GPS-tagged at planting.
What you gain
Planting, survival and monitoring visits you can follow on a project dashboard, with periodic reports and a clear view of whether carbon credits are realistic.
The wider contribution
Degraded land and coastline back under native cover, mangroves restored along the coast, and trees that support local incomes through agroforestry.

Common questions

Yes. Furaha & Baraka Farms’ seedlings are certified by the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), reflecting a commitment to quality and plant health standards. FBF runs 18 operating nurseries with capacity for up to 15M seedlings per season (as of October 2026).

On the Kenyan coast in Kwale County. With I&M, FBF restores mangroves in the Mwache Block with the Mwatsumbo Community Forest Association (October 2025 to July 2026), planting Rhizophora mucronata, Ceriops tagal and Avicennia marina. With ABSA Life, FBF planted mangroves at Tsunza in 2025.

87% tree survival rate, against an industry benchmark of 75% (as of October 2026). FBF treats restoration as a process, with post-care, replacement, monitoring and adaptive management after planting.

36M+ trees delivered across Kenya, on 120K ha of land (100K ha terrestrial and 20K ha mangrove), as of October 2026.

Yes. Through a Framework of Collaboration with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), Furaha & Baraka Farms is supporting the restoration of 3,000 hectares of forest landscapes.

Carbon-project feasibility and readiness is part of FBF’s reforestation and carbon offset service, so each site is assessed before any credits are planned.
