We invite individuals and groups from all levels – students, interns, and nature lovers. This forest faces major threats from human encroachment and destruction. Protecting it helps conserve our ecosystem, water catchments, and wildlife while attracting more rainfall. Join this program and benefit Africa's environment, humans, and animals.
