ENGLISH VERSIONThe Early warning system.Often, the meteorological departmentadvises farmers and the general public ofweather changes. In most cases, thedepartment releases weather forecasts 3months in advance. For instance, before theonset of the dry season, weathermen andwomen usually indicate the likelihood ofdrought in coming months to come.There are farmers who take themetrological weather forecast seriously anduse this forecast to help mitigate against theadverse effects of dry weather when it setsin. They devise clever ways of harvestingwater, and use this saved water to irrigatetheir trees and crops when there is drought.On the other hand, there are some who don’theed such advice because when the forecastis released, the weather situation appearsnormal. In the end, they lose their trees, cropsand livestock.Often, we forget that drought doesn’tcome knocking on our door and start affectingthe environment immediately. No, it comesslowly, and with signs that can be hard to read.Farmers can be best prepared for successwhen guided by a simple system that givessome important steps and precautionarymeasures to follow when there is probabilityof drought. This is called the early system.By Wilson MutaiPractice CF, don’t burn residue and mulchyour fields: this will help your crops growwith less water.- You are informed of upcoming drought bythe weathermen.- At this time, everything is normal and inplenty.- Rains are enough for our trees andlivestock. Croplands are healthy.- This is the time we are supposed to planand take necessary precautions.- Start harvesting and storing water. Thiswill help you water your tree nurseries, cropsand trees during drought season.Alert /Alarm – Mitigation.- Early signs of drought start showing.- Days of no rain, and trees start wilting.- People start going far to fetch water fromrivers.- Animals start emaciating – becoming thin.- At this point, you can still take necessarysteps like selling some of your cattle,looking for means of getting water – fordomestic and to water trees especially innurseries, shading nurseries, etc. It isan especially important time to conserveand recycle water and prioritize how touse your limited supply for most impact.2Here below is an illustration of the systemReconciliationDrought preparednessRecoveryNormalEmergencyReliefAlert/AlarmMitigationDrought Preparedness.- When choosing what to plant on your farm,choose crops and trees that can surviveand produce useful yields in drought.Sorghum, millet, cassava, and pawpaw allcan produce food even with little rain.Mangoes, acacias, and markhamia areamong many tree species that can survivemany droughts when well established.Every farm should incorporate some ofthese crops and trees to be prepared.Emergencies – Relief- Here is the extreme of drought. Iteffects are now felt strongly.- Trees are drying up and livestock is dyingin some areas.- Government and non-governmentorganizations start interventions.- Relief food is distributed and people movelivestock to other places, but some die onthe way since they are not strong.Recovery / reconciliation- It is the onset of rains.- Trees that survived start growing again.- Livestock and crops begin getting water.- If you sold your livestock, it is time torestock.- Replace trees that died. Plant more trees,especially of varieties that did well duringdrought.As we continue planting on our farms, let’s beaware of such weather variation and takenecessary actions to be ready for drought.

Mutamaiyu TIST SmallGroups A and B:We work together to improve our lives. Thisis the time for tree planting hence people arerequested to plant more trees.ENGLISH VERSIONTree growth – Takecare of your Trees.Prepared by Eunice Wambui, NarumoruField Office TIST Quantifier and AuditorTrees manufacture their food through aprocess known as photosynthesis.This process is carried out in the leaves ofthe tree.So, when the tree has more leaves it will beable to manufacture more food.This, together with water and minerals inthe soil, will determine the growth rate ofthe tree.3Members of Mutamaiyu A and B of Wiyumiririe ClusterSave a tree for safer life,Plant more trees forbetter and longer lifeBy Johnstone Gacheru, Kiriogo ClusterAccountabilty personIn the beginning, God created the universeTrees were created many to support lifeWithout trees, no fresh airWithout trees, no waterSave a tree for safer lifePlant more trees for better and longer lifeEvery living creature is dependent on treeswithout trees, no rainwithout rain, no foodSave a tree for safer lifePlant more trees for better and longer lifeTrees provide us with materials for our shelterwithout trees no shelterwithout shelter, no safetySave a tree for safer lifePlant more trees for better and longer lifeTrees are health and wealthWithout health, no wealthWithout wealth, no happinessSave a tree for safer lifePlant more trees for better and longer lifePruningPruning is removing some of the branchesfrom the mother tree. Note that by pruningwe remove the branches that have the leaveswhich the trees need for theirgrowth.When to prunePrune trees when you find out that thereare big branches which give the tree an undesirableshape. For timber trees, you maywish to prune low branches that make thetrunk crooked or that may leave knot holesin the wood. Make sure to leave plenty ofleaves for good growth.Prune the trees during the rainy season toavoid tree dehydration. This still is the timethat trees are more leafy.How to pruneUse a clean pruning saw. Dirty equipmentcan spread plant disease.Start cutting from bottom to top to avoidhurting the tree.Why to prune- To get big and healthy trees for carboncredit.- To get quality trees for timber.- To get firewood, poles, or fodder forthe household.Effects of early, overly aggressive pruning- Trees become thin.- Retarded growth- Delayed / low income

ENGLISH VERSIONFast growing indigenous trees.By Christine Yankel4Indigenous trees provide manydifferent benefits. This month, we focus onsome indigenous trees that are especiallyuseful because they are fast growing. Inthe wild, often these species are pioneerspecies, growing first and fast when spaceis opened by fire or cutting. Talk to trainersand other Small Groups in your cluster anddiscuss together which species are best inyour area.The tree grows easily from seed.Pretreatment is not necessary and seedsgerminate within 10-20 days of planting witha germination rate of 40-60%.If planted in together with crops,plant at a low density. Prune branches toencourage straight growth of the trunk.Macaranga kilimandscharica, mukuhakuha/mukuraHagenia abyssinica, African redwood,muhooruWith its beautiful red timber, and growingquickly up to 20 m, Hagenia abyssinica is agood tree to grow in high elevations thatreceive 1,000 to 1,500 mm of rainfall eachyear. It has many benefits: its leaves enrichsoil, and make it a good tree for planting infarm fields for agroforestry. It is amedicinal tree, and can help preserve thesoil. Its wood is valuable timber and alsomakes good firewood or charcoal.Macaranga is a fast-growing tree that is agood choice for growing together withcoffee or bananas.. It grows best with 1,500to 2,500 mm of rainfall each year. It is agood barrier tree, and because of its fastgrowth, can protect soils from eroding. Itswood is good for firewood and is used inmaking boxes or fencing. An extract of itsroots is useful medicine.Grow macaranga from seed. The treegrows well and with minimal care once wellestablished

ENGLISH VERSIONWe are grateful to TIST Kenya,says Igembe TSE.Written by William Mwito and Agatha M. Franklin during a cluster meeting at Kanthiari5Not long before 2008, Mary Wanyoike, ourthen TSE, started telling residents ofIgembe assembling at Kanthiari coffeefactory grounds about TIST. Since then, theinformation has reached uncountablevillages, including Athiru Gaiti, Mutuati,Kawiru, Kiengu, Kiegoi, Athi & Mutiokiama.These groups organized into two clusters:Antubochiu and Kawiru, and are multiplyingto others like Mutuati, Maua, Kiengu, AthiruGaiti and Athi.Servant leaders who have supported theTIST clusters in the area include Josephine,who trained our quantifiers, Martin Weru,who informs us of TIST in other areas,Charles Ibeere, who makes sure our clustersare well informed, Allan, who responds totechnical problems wherever informed,Dorothy, who is the C.F. Champion and manyothers who have contributed to our success.Long live TIST.We therefore await tree count for not lessthan 100 SGS who have responded to TISTvalues. Combined with Kimeru saying “Mutini gantu ka goro gaturanacia na muntu kuumaguciarwa mwanka gukua kwawe”. A tree is avaluable thing living friendly to human frombirth to death.Conclusively we unite to make everyresident in our area to be a TIST farmer.TIST farmers rehabilitate rivers.Prepared by Julius Manga, Lamuria Field Office TIST Quantifier and AuditorSimon Mwangi is a member of Stone Matanyagroup which is in Lamuria, Matanya cluster.Simon has been a very active member andhas been attending every cluster meeting.Following the trainings given in clustermeetings, he has decided to take a stepforward and now has a nursery of indigenousseedlings such: Podo, Mukurwe, Mukoe andmany others.Moreover, he has taken another step ofencouraging other members to startnurseries so that they can reduce the shortrotation trees, especially eucalyptus. Hesays, “It’s only through having nurseries thatwe will be able to plant more trees, sincebuying seedlings is costly.”His vision, below, is an inspiration, and wehope many groups and clusters will follow theexample of Simon.1. Rehabilitate Tigithi and Burguret rivers.2. Raise 40,000 seedlings by end of this year.3.Turn Matanya to a green world.In addition, Simon has been getting cashthrough selling of seedlings to SG memberswho are along the Tigithi and Burguretrivers.Figure 2 Simon in his tree nursery

ENGLISH VERSIONKigucwa Cluster – TIST benefits are manyKeep the trees growing!Prepared by Aaron Kaindio, Kinyaritha Field Office TIST Quantifier6Since the TIST program started in Kigucwacluster, many farmers have witnessed forthemselves that TIST is a beneficialprogram. Within a short time, they haveexperienced many benefits that continue toincrease.Among these benefits are,farmers from these clusters whosegroves borders this river will benefit alot. They will earn an extra incentive,and make the water cleaner and betterfor all users.3. Building and growth opportunities arealso big benefits from TIST.1. Conservation farming ‘CF’ where byfarmers are now planting their cropswithout using chemical fertilizers whichare acidic to soil. With CF, farmersare improving their crop yield.2. Conserving our rivers. This meansplanting indigenous trees along theriverbanks. TIST program will pay 2.50shs per indigenous tree for the SGmembers who follow TIST bestpractices in qualifying groves borderingselected rivers, within 100 meters ofthe river. To qualify, the grove musthave at least 30% of trees in a groveplanted as indigenous trees. They mustalso have no more than 5% eucalyptustrees, and no eucalyptus within 100meters of the river. The farmer mustnot cultivate within 30 meters of theriver. In our area, the Thanantu riveris one of the selected rivers in Mt Kenyaregion. This river is between thefollowing clusters: Kiguwa, Kitheo,Mikinduri, Kagaene,and Kibuline. Many4. Stipend payments for the trees. Aswe all know, trees have so many benefits,but apart from all these benefits, TISTnow has introduced a new business knownas the carbon credit business. As yourtrees grow bigger, they sequester morecarbon from the atmosphere into theirwood, roots, and leaves. Quantifierscan measure these trees, to know howmuch carbon dioxide the treessequestered, and with good data quality,and good tree growth, the carbonsequestered can be sold as tonnesoffset. Sale of these carbon offsets iswhere the money for the tree payments,for the Mazingira Bora, quantification,and TIST activities comes from.The more trees we plant, the more carbontonnes we can sell, and the cleaner the airbecomes. So, let us plant trees, butremember to plant with good spacing of atleast 2 to 3 metres, so trees grow fasterand healthier.
