We in TIST join the rest of theworld in mourning the passing ofenvironmental icon, ProfessorWangari Mathai. She founded theGreenbelt Movement in 1977 andbecame a great advocate for better managementof natural resources, for sustainability, equity, andjustice. TIST members and organization interactedwith Professor Mathai in many forums where wediscussed various ways to achieve our shared goalof empowering people to improve our environmentand our lives.It is very sad that Professor Mathai has left us.We will carry on with the good work of protectingand conserving our environment into the future.This planting season, we are calling upon eachand every TIST farmer to plant an additional 71trees, in honour and remembrance of the 71 yearsof Professor Mathai’s life. For instance, if you hadplanned to plant 100 trees this season, plant 171. Ifyou intended to plant 1,000, plant 71 more. If allTIST farmers in Kenya heed this call to honorENGLISH VERSIONIn honour of Professor Wangari Mathai, plant 71 moretrees on your farm this season.Soon, TIST Clusters will be audited to measure theirprogress towards becoming strong clusters capableof self-governance. Self –governed Clusters are anultimate goal in TIST, and help keep costs low sothat benefits to farmers can be big. Clusters thatwill pass the audit will receive many benefits, andultimately, will self-govern. The audit will focus mainlyon determining if the cluster is strong enough toserve its own members. A strong cluster should:- Have 30 to 50 active Small Groups (300-400farmers)- Practices rotating leadership and servantleadership – rotate leadership throughdemocratic elections every four (4) months.- Meets regularly every month, and the meetingis well attended by Small Groupsrepresentatives.- Has land to plant at least 200,000 trees, andhas Small Groups actively planting and caringfor their trees.- Should have cluster members who work withQuantifiers to monitor each Small Group’sresults each year.Professor Mathai in this way, we will have morethan 3.5 million new trees, a beautiful forest for abeautiful life.Remember, Professor Mathai was a championof indigenous trees. She said, “When I want tocelebrate, I always plant a tree. And so I got anindigenous tree, called Nandi flame, it has thisbeautiful red flower. When it is in flower it is like itis in flame.”Please consider planting as many indigenoustrees as possible.We will publish the names of farmers andnumber of trees that TIST farmers have planted inhonour of Professor. If you would wish to beincluded in the ‘Roll of Honour for ProfessorWangari Mathai’, please send a text (SMS) ofyour name, name of your cluster and number oftrees you planted to 0718790007 (SMS only). Pleasesend this on or before 15 th November 2011. Thiswill be published in the December 2011 issue ofMazingira Bora NewsletterGrowing the TIST Program: Be ready for an audit toqualify your Clusters for self –governance.- Should ensure that all Small Groups are welltrained about TIST, tree planting, and thecarbon market.- Account accurately and send accountingrecords every month- Send monthly cluster meeting records everymonth- Actively recruit new members to TIST.Additionally, a self –governed cluster should becapable of ensuring:1. Small Groups are well quantified in atransparent, accurate manner2. Small Groups receive their trees paymentstransparently and in a timely manner3. Each of the Small Groups meets weekly andpractices rotational and servant leadership4. Each of the Small Groups receives theMazingira Bora Newsletter every month5. Small Groups receive training and they arevoluntarily practicing, sharing best practicessuch as Conservation Farming, energy efficientjikos, soil erosion control measures, and others.2

ENGLISH VERSIONUnderstanding Helped to Help (H2H) Conservation Farming:The current ent season participants.The TIST Helped to Help program, called‘H2H’, was developed to encourage farmers to trynew best practices, and after successful effort, toshare the benefit of the proven best practice withTIST neighbors. The TIST Program helps onemember, and that person helps many more bypassing on part of the benefits they received toothers.Through H2H, TIST members encourage thespread of best practices to more farmers with lowadministrative costs and high accountability andtransparency. The costs remain low and the programremains sustainable. H2H TIST members will benefitfrom improved stoves and Conservation Farmingopportunities in the next few months.Here’s how it works:For the H2H CF Program, Pioneers who haveprepared their fields, who have dug at least 750 CFholes, to plant CF will receive certified maize seedto plant. In return, they promise to follow bestpractices, train the next Participants and report ontheir crop yield.If the CF harvest is successful, they will usethe benefits of the improved yield to pass oncertified seed to 3 other TIST members selectedby their cluster. When these members receive thegift from the H2H Pioneer, they make the samepromise. Participating in the H2H program willmean a lot to TIST SG members and the entireworld. A single pioneer will establish a long networkof shared success!Current season participantsCluster Name Number of participantsMutuati/Kangeta 54Kawiru MCK 105Nkondi 16Mitheru 11Kianyaga 6Antubochiu 4Kinoro 15Rwanyange 3Githongo 4Ikumbo 4Limoro 1Nkando 4Ruiri 6Ntumburi 16Mworoga 2Igwanjau 5Nthangathi 2Kiburine 1Irindiro 4Kamaroo 4Kirindine 4Nchiru 33Planting season: Good indigenous trees to plant.Indigenous trees are tree species that havedeveloped in Africa and are well suited to theenvironment they developed in. They may improvesoil and attract birds and helpful insects. Differenttrees will grow better in different places.From TIST Seminars and Cluster meetings,TIST participants have identified types of indigenoustrees that are very good and beneficial in their areas.Some of these are described below, and we thankthe World Agroforestry Centre for this informationon benefits and seed collection and preparationfor success. Please consider some of them in yournext planting season, and let us know some of thebest kinds in your area!a. Prunus africana (Kikuyu: Muiri, Kimeru:Mweria)This indigenous tree is mainly found in forestreserves. Seeds are available in forests during thedry season. Collect only dark brown, ripe fruits fromthe crown of the tree or the ground.Remove the pulp by soaking for 24 hours,then wash over a wire mesh. Spread in a thin layerin an airy, shaded place to dry – but for 4 hoursonly. The seed does not store so use the fresh seed.Wrapping moist leaves around the seed minimizesmoisture loss during temporary transport andstorage. Sow directly into the seedbed or pots.Germination takes 6-8 weeks.

Uses:• Pest repellant: Can repel some pests e.g.aphids, nematodes (those which attack crops)by its smell. Flowers have sufficient nectar andpollen for good bee forage. Produces highquality firewood.• Medicine: Liquid extracts from bark are usedin the treatment of prostate enlargement.Leaves are used as an inhalant for fever or aredrunk as an infusion to improve appetite. Wateris added to pounded bark, and the red liquid isused as a remedy for stomachache; barkextract may be used as a purgative for cattle.• Erosion control: Trees can be grown alongcontour ridges and terraces, provides usefulshade and acts as a windbreak. Soil improver:Leaves can be used as mulch and green manure.• Ornamental: It makes an attractive gardenshade tree.b. Peacock Flower (Albizia gummifera,Kikuyu: Mukurwe)This tree is commonly found in lowland andupland rainforest and in open habitats nearforests.Fresh seeds need no pre-treatment. Storedseeds are soaked in warm water and left to cool toroom temperature. The seed coat may be nickedat the cotyledon end to hasten germination. Seedgermination is good, 70-80%, within 10 days. Seedsshould be collected while still on the tree tominimize insect damage. Seed can be stored for atleast a year if kept dry and insect free throughaddition of ash.Uses:• Bee-forage, fuel wood, timber, gum, tannin,medicine (extracts from the crushed pods aretaken for stomach pains and the barkdecoction for malaria), erosion control (theroot system holds soil and prevents gulleyerosion),• shade, nitrogen fixing (improves the soil),known as a good mulch tree as leaf litter isabundant during the leaf shedding season,• ornamental (planted in town avenues for itsbeauty),• boundary planting, the leaves quicken theripening process in bananas.ENGLISH VERSIONc. Olea africana (African wild olive, Kikuyu:Mutamaiyu, Kimeru: Muthata)This tree is found in a variety of habitats,usually near water, on stream banks, and also inopen woodland. It is resistant to both frost anddrought.Fresh seeds are used for sowing. Old seedscan be soaked in cold water for 48 hours. Seedsare often pre-treated by cracking with a hand viceor by rolling a stone over seeds. This is becauseremoving the endocarp can enhance germination.The seeds can be stored at dry room temperaturefor a few years.Uses:• Food: the main olive products are olive oil andedible olives. Fodder: The plants are muchbrowsed on by livestock. Also used or fuel,timber, charcoal, toothbrushes and ornaments.• Reclamation: The high drought tolerancesuggests that it is a good candidate forreforestation in semi-arid zones of Africa.• Ornamental: Olive trees have the capacity tobeautify the landscape.d. Waterberry (Syzygium guineense, Kikyuyu:Mukoe, Kimeru: Muriru)This tree usually occurs in lowland rainforest and mountain rain forests. It commonlygrows in moist conditions, sometimes even in water,and is usually found along streams.Seeds need no pre-sowing treatment, asgermination rates are good and uniform.Rates of 80-90% are attained after 20 to 50 days.Direct sowing into pots is recommended. Fruitsare perishable, hence should be picked from theground soon after falling. They may also be collectedby shaking the branches with hooks. After collection,the fruits should be sown out immediately as seedswill lose viability if they are dried. If this is notpossible, fruit can be stored for a few days in moistsawdust and open containers in well-ventilatedrooms.Uses:• Bee forage, • Timber, • Fuel wood,• Shade • MedicineNote: the poisonous bark has been reported tocause human deaths, so advice should be soughtfrom people experienced in using the products formedicine from this tree.4

ENGLISH VERSIONPlastics – the way to treat them and avoid harmingthe environment.By Eunice WambuiLook around you. Whether you are sitting,standing or walking, what do you see?There is litter everywhere. Almost everywhere,there are heaps of plastic materials.Plastic bags have become a nuisance in manyareas and a pollution problem. 100 million plasticbags are handed out each year in Kenya bysupermarkets alone! They clog sewers and drains,pollute soil, harm fish and animals, and may killlivestock when they eat the plastic rubbish. Mostof the bags are flimsy, and tear after a single use,and pieces of these plastic bags mix with soil andprevent rainwater from soaking into the ground.This hurts plant growth and also provides breedingground for mosquitoes that carry malaria and formany waterborne diseases.We in TIST have a responsibility of taking careof our environment in many ways besides plantingtrees. We have an important duty to make theenvironment clean, safe, and tidy and to encourageour neigbours to do the same.We need to get rid of plastic bags so that ourtree groves will be neat for people to admire, ourchildren and livestock will be safe and healthy, livingin a clean and disease- free environment.Some farmers in TIST use the “4 –Rs” method toaddress the plastic menace.Re - use: Poly bags we have by taking them alongto the store instead of accepting new ones.Re-cyle: Instead of disposing of non-degradablepoly bags, use them as poly tubes for seedlings andestablishing a mobile nursery. You can also fingercrochet them into a rope or other useful items.This is a low cost, high results re-use!Reduce: Their hazards as much as possible bydisposing the polythene bags by collecting themand burying them in one pit.Refuse: Where possible refuse to use thepolythene bags. When doing the shopping, it’s betterto carry a basket or reusable bag.Let’s all work to reduce the impact of plasticmaterials!5Keep eucalyptus trees away from riparian and watercatchments areas.By Joseph GitumaWe Igembe TIST farmers want to encourageour members and neigbours to begin conservingand protecting our rivers and catchment areas. Atthe same time, we want to discourage planting ofeucalyptus trees in those areas mentioned above.We have already experienced diminishing waterflow level in some of the rivers where eucalyptusare common.Plant many indigenous trees along streams andwaterways to protect and improve our water andto make environment habitable and comfortablefor fresh airTogether, we protect and conserve our rivers.

ENGLISH VERSIONTIST Farmers to receive TIST’s first incentive for protectingrivers through indigenous tree planting along riverbanks.By Jeniffer Kithure6Dear TIST Farmers,A long time ago, rivers were strong and wedid not cut trees and cultivate along the riverbanksand wetlands. Today, we see too many rivers dyingand drying because of bad practices.TIST has developed a best practice ofprotecting our rivers by planting indigenous trees inriparian areas along rivers. With the next treepayments, five Small Groups will receive an additionalincentive for their excellent groves of indigenous treesby rivers.These best riparian groups are:1. Kajoroge group, 2008KE332 in Kianjagi cluster.2. Kabari Musingi conservation group, 2008KE670in Ngariama cluster.3. Mwirutiri group, 2008KE2015 in Muthambicluster.4. Kerere women A group, 2008KE1191 in Njukiinicluster.5. Ethi junior Group, 2010KE10 in Murungai clusterEustace Njeru is a member of KajorogeGroup, one of these best riparian groups. He planted241 trees for TIST, and 201 of these trees areindigenous. He has planted muuru, meru oak, mutuja,Brachystegia and mukwega, Bridelia taitensis. He willuse these trees for for honey production, and willprune branches for fuel wood. These trees are nowshading the bank of the Mara river. He and his groupqualify for PES in the next payment. He says he willuse the money for nursery expansion for plantingmore TIST trees. Njeru calls all TIST and all farmersof Kenya to action, “Let us work together to improveour rivers and our environment by planting moreindigenous trees”.Other members of these riparian groups saythey are interested in protecting and improving riversto reduce soil erosion and to serve as an example sothat more members will follow these good practices.They are planting indigenous trees, bamboos, andgrasses to stabilize riverbanks. They say that theyjoined TIST to take part in the carbon credit business,to plant more trees, and to work together to improvethe environment. They look forward to the extraincome they will receive from the indigenous treepayment for environmental services (PES), and alsoto the many benefits they and communities enjoy fromprotecting important water sources. They call toeveryone living near rivers work together to protectour rivers so we will have better quality and quantityof water and decrease water borne disease.These farmers are taking important actionto conserve our water source, so they are notcontaminated, to save the environment. The treesand shrubs cover and cool the surface of the earth,and when the ground stays cooler, and roots makethe soil porous, the ground holds more moisturelonger. This means the water-friendly indigenous treescan help improve the amount of water in the andalso soil also improve the quality and quantity of water.This will help provide good water for people andanimals downstream.Our dear farmers, let us be ready to protectour rivers, streams, and wells. If we are not seriousabout protecting our rivers, the dangers of severewater stress will increase. More arid and semiaridland areas may become deserts, and fertile areas willsuffer, too. Many people will have to leave their homesto search for water, and so bring conflict to theupstream people. Let us be kind to our children andgrandchildren, so they may have fertile soil, good water,and a beautiful environment they will enjoy.How can I take part?A GOOD RIPARIAN INDIGENOUS TREES GROVE.1. No cultivation within 30m of river in the grove.2. No eucalyptus within 100m of the river in thegrove.3. Do not cut down or clear existing indigenousvegetation or ground cover.4. Over 30% of the grove must be plantedindigenous trees.5. Plant water friendly trees and grass within 30m.6. Proper spacing of 2m and above according tothe species.If you have met the above qualifications, andyou would like to participate as ariparian farmer, ask your cluster representative,quantifier, or Jeniffer at 0726319539. If your grove isquantified, you may also receive this additional PESand serve as an example for farmers throughoutKenya.
