Keep on planting!
Joseph Feulefack, coordinator of the Forest Tree and Environment Club in Kumba, south-west Cameroon tells us of FOTEC s work in creating an arboretum of trees as a teaching aid for schools. Since 1994 'more than 3000 trees were planted, from 33 different local tropical forest species, over 26 plots covering 2 hectares. The success rate is about 78%. This has reduced the budget needed for study visits to the Forestry Department. Students now have next to their classrooms tree species that used to be studied hundreds of kilometres away.'
