The immediate adverse effect of the increased demand for wood fuel in Kenya and other Sub-Saharan African countries has led to deforestation and related challenges of environmental degradation regarding soil erosion, floods, and landslides, less rainfall causing droughts, severe surface water run-offs causing silting up of electric power dams and destruction of drinking-water reservoirs. To address these challenges, ATL is actively involved in the production of seedlings through both seeds and clonal propagation.

Varieties available at ATL:

• Eucalyptus
• Grevillea robusta
• Bamboo
• Cypress
