TIST Kibirichia Small Groups meetings. He liked what TIST groups were doing and invited trainers to come to Kisima – our area.The same year, Gituma organized people to form groups, who later were trained and registered.The cluster was small to start: only two groups were registered in the year 2005. These first groups were Ndenda A – 2005KE 1099, and Ndenda B – 2005KE1100. In 2006, training and tree planting continued, and more groups joined. Muthetu – 2006KE 1330, Ndurumuru farmers – 2006KE 508, Mijikenda – 2006KE 507 joined TIST. By 2007, the seeds of the cluster began to take stronger root as Ndurumuru farmers – 2007KE 708, Ndurunuru B – 2007KE 795, Muguna kisima – 2007KE 204, Muguna kisima – 2007KE 224, Greenland afforestation – 2007KE664, Mwongera – 2007KE823, Weru SHG – 2007KE 835, Mbumi – 2007KE945, Kamantereki – 2007KE663, Mwega – 2007KE894, Murutu – 2007KE 946, and Ndurumuru farmers – 2007KE998 joined the cluster. Growth continued, with new groups joining as they learned more about the good things TIST neighbors were doing. In 2008, Ndurumuru E – 2008KE 88 joined, while many groups joined in 2009. These included Center C – 2009KE 295, Center A – 2009KE 296, Center B – 2009KE 297, Denda D – 2009KE 299, Greenland C – 2009KE 300, Green E – 2009KE 301, Muguna group 2009KE309, Ngwatanaro B – 2009KE 317, Greenland D – 2009KE 302, Mbumi B – 2009KE 305, Muguna G – 2009KE 307, Muguna E – 2009KE 308, Muguna group – 2009KE 302, Ndurumuru B – 2009KE 312, Ndurumuru C – 2009KE 313, Ndurumuru E – 2009KE 314, Ndurumuru F – 2009KE 315, and Ngwataniro – 2009KE 316. The first quantification was done in October 2005. Mr. Gituma organized for this quantification, and some groups received their payment a year later. In 2010 Kisima qualified to be a cluster with 37 groups. We still need to increase our tree number, from the 70,000 trees we have today, to reach the goal of 200,000 trees. We also are working on improving our reporting of cluster Kisima Cluster – Our History. By Isaac M. Munyua meetings and cluster accounting using SMS reporting. In 2011 we did our elections and we elected the followings. 1. Leader – Mr. Henry Gituma 2. Co-leader – Mr. Johnstone Kinoti 3. Accountability person – Mrs. Mercy Kagendo We elected Mr. Gituma to be our leader because he is a person who has shown light to us as a volunteer from 2005 to this date. He rotated out to pave way for Kinoti to be the leader, Mrs. Mercy Kagendo co-leader and Isaac as accountability person. In this way, we are developing leadership skills and benefiting from the strength of the many talented volunteers in our cluster. Mr. Gituma has promised to work with us and also assist when need be. In the early years of TIST in our area, we faced a lot of challenges. Some people thought that tree payment was impossible when you still own trees. Some thought that money could be from devil worshipers. Today, farmers appreciate the important role they are playing in improving local and global climate. We want to be part of the generation that got rid of global warming of our planet Earth. Mr Gituma shared with us a vision for our Cluster as follows; 

1. Sustainability : He wants the cluster to be run in a smooth and efficient manner. 

2. Good leadership : He has asked the future cluster leaders to follow TIST values and best practices. 

3. Plant more indigenous trees. He has encouraged us to plant more indigenous trees in our farms and public places. 

4. Practice C.F. (Conservation Farming): We should learn the importance of C.F. versus conventional farming. We feel honoured to have this opportunity to be led by Mr. Gituma and also to learn from the best values he demonstrated. We are glad that he has agreed to assist when need be. May God bless him mightily. Isaac M. Munyua is an Accountability person, Kisima cluster. ENGLISH VERSION 2 ENGLISH VERSION 3 T IST Small Groups members from many Clusters are happy to say that they’ve moved a step closer to the goal of Cluster self-governance, a goal they have been working toward over a long time, but intensively from the middle of 2010. In Kigucwa Cluster, Small Group members have come to understand even more deeply how abiding by TIST Values is essential to creating a strong cluster. We all know that TIST has already started funding our clusters with money so as to get stronger quickly. For this to achieve big results at low costs, Cluster Leaders who receive this monthly budget need to be honest accurate and transparent about how these funds are being used to serve the Cluster so it can become strong. Some best practices identified have been to use the budget to travel to get the Mazingira Bora newsletter and vouchers, to buy airtime for leaders to coordinate with TIST staff and cluster members, and to give incentive to members who assist Quantifiers in Quantifications in the cluster. When the cluster works well together, we can find good ways to save money, so that a member may pick up TIST materials when they are headed to town for other business. This leaves us with more resources to accomplish big things. Further, we need to hold each other mutually accountable and volunteer to serve each other so Clusters can move forward. You can now see how abiding by TIST Values will building a strong cluster, a growing community, and also a great nation. Say YES to TIST values and build up your cluster! Aaron Kaindio is a TIST Quantifier, Kiguchwa Cluster. “When you plant a tree, you help yourself and you help everyone else in the world.” Ben Henneke The Hon. Dr. Noah Wekesa, Minister of Forestry and Wildlife in Kenya, hosted a celebration for the launch of TIST in the Mt. Elgon region on 19 January 2012. It was a celebration full of music and speeches in the Kitale showground where over 300 people greeted the Minister, the Director of the USAID Kenya Mission Erna Kerst, the Chairman of the KFS Board Professor Richard Musangi, Senior Deputy Director of KFS Monica Kalenda, Regional Commissioner Wilson Wanyanaga, USAID NRM Team Leader Azharul Mazumder and district commissioners, members of Parliament, KFS zonal managers and foresters. TIST farmers from Meru, Nanyuki, Naru Moro, Kinyaritha, Chugu and Ntugi made the trip in a matatu and were able to talk to many people at the stadium and tell them about TIST first hand. Ben Henneke President of Clean Air Action Corporation and Vannesa Henneke of the Institute for Environmental Innovation, cofounders of TIST, also attended the event. Minister Wekesa stated in his speech that the water towers, Mt. Kenya and Mt. Elgon being two of the five, are highly degraded and urgently require rehabilitation. He also stated the Kenya has been hard hit by the negative effects of climate change. “Areas that used to receive adequate rains are now receiving less rains that cannot support crop production. This has greatly affected the incomes of many farmers who rely on livestock and rain fed agriculture for their livelihoods.” It was an exciting call to action for TIST farmers in a new area! More news next month about Mt. Elgon. TIST Expands to Mt Elgon. Many Clusters Have Now Started Moving Forward. By Aaron Kaindio ENGLISH VERSION 4 Which tree species should we grow in our area? The best ones are those growing naturally in the area. Select trees that meet your needs. TIST particularly encourages fruit and indigenous trees. Remember, you are committing to keep your TIST trees in the ground for 30 years or more. Choose ones that will give you the benefits you need over this time: fruit, fodder, improved soil from reduced erosion or nitrogen from leguminous trees, firewood from thinned branches, and other benefits. Are all trees good? Not necessarily! Some may be difficult to control, be poisonous to your animals or use too much water. Choose ones you know will benefit your area. Do trees produce seeds every year? Most trees do, but observe your local trees to be sure. Some may only produce good quality seeds every 2-3 years. Which is a good mother tree to collect seeds from?

• Collect seeds from healthy trees that are good seed producers.

• Avoid isolated trees. In this case the seed is likely to have been self-pollinated which leads to poorer quality seeds.

• Avoid unproductive trees and ones with a bad shape.

• It is better to choose a tree in the middle of a healthy group of trees of the same species.

• Seeds will be higher quality from trees with flowers that are spread out rather than packed closely together.

• The exact type of tree depends on what you want to use the tree for. For example, good trees for timber are straight, have few branches and are fast growing. Good trees for fodder should be fast growing, have many branches with multiple stems, and fast growing leaves with the ability to recover after being pruned. Good fruit trees should obviously have good quantities of healthy fruit!

• Try to choose seeds from a tree growing at the same altitude and soil type as where you want to plant.

• Choose a mature tree, not a young one. Seed collection and seedbed preparation Best Practices. When do we collect the seeds? - Learn the time of the year when the seeds are ripe. - Ask other local people or observe the tree yourself. - Sometimes seeds are ripe when the fruit or pods change color, become dry, or break easily from the branch. - Most seeds are ready for collection when they fall from the tree naturally. How do we collect the seeds?

• It is helpful to clear the area around the bottom of the tree first. Many seeds can be collected from the ground. Inspect the seeds for insect damage.

• The tree can be climbed to collect the seeds, but take care!

• Some fruit dry open and disperse their seeds without falling to the ground.These are hard to collect if the seeds are small. Collect the fruit or pods after they are ripe but before they have split or fallen to the ground.Then dry the fruit or pod in a clean, sheltered place to obtain the seeds.

• Some seeds can be knocked from the tree with a long stick.

• Try putting a sheet under the tree and gently shaking the tree.

• For tall trees a simple tool can be made by attached one end of a pair of shears to a long, strong stick.The other handle can be attached to a rope.

• Note that some seed species cannot be collected from the ground and have to be collected as wildlings. These are newly germinated seedlings found growing under mature trees.These can be transplanted to pots in your nursery. This is often the best method for trees that are hard to grow in a nursery or whose seeds are hard to collect.

• Seeds must be removed from their fruit or pods. Hand separate, or putting the fruit/pod in the sun and waiting for it to dry and split, can do this. How can we tell if the seed is good?

• First, look at the seed. Discard ones that are smaller, lighter or a different color than the others. Discard any that show insect damage. ENGLISH VERSION 5

• For some hard-coated species, floating in water is a good test. Normally, the good seed sinks and the bad seed floats.

• You can do a simple germination test. Take a small, counted number of seeds (20-100). Do any pre-treatment needed. Put the seeds on a damp cloth in a bowl. Cover with another fold of the cloth, moisten it thoroughly and put in a warm (not hot) place. Check the seeds daily for signs of germination and keep the cloth moist.When germination begins, keep a record of the day and number germinating.The test usually lasts about two weeks depending on the species. Germination of over 50% generally means you have good seed, but germination rate can vary a lot depending on tree species. Small-seeded species having only 5% germination are still worth keeping. Do we plant or store the seeds?

• Some seeds do not store and should be planted straight away (especially soft, fleshy seeds, fruit tree seeds or seeds with high oil content).

• For seeds with harder coats, the basic rule is to keep the seed clean, dry and cool.

• Seeds should be removed from the fruit/cone and dried thoroughly. To dry the seeds put them in the sun for 2-3 days.

• Storing in a paper bag or metal container out of the sun is good (avoid plastic bags as this makes the seed sweat and rot). Make sure the container is clean and air-tight.

• Label the container with the name of the seeds and the collection date.

• Remember that the germination ability of the seeds can decrease with time. If seeds have been stored for too long, they may expire. Some species lose germination ability faster than others. Do all seeds germinate? The percentage of seeds, which germinate, varies greatly between species. Some seeds require some form of pre-treatment. What kind of pre-treatment might be needed?

• If the seeds have a very small or thin coat, often no treatment will be needed.

• Seeds that have thick coats usually will need some form of pre-treatment. Some need to have their seed coat cracked with a hammer or a stone. Seeds should be planted immediately after cracking.

• Some seeds just require a small cut in the seed coat to help water infiltrate (nicking). Do not cut the part that was attached to the pod or capsule as this part contains the baby plant.

• Others need to be soaked in mild acidic solutions for 5-20 mins before sowing.

• Another method for hard-coated seeds is to boil them in water for 5-10 minute. Then put the seeds in cool water. This weakens the coat and helps water to enter.

• Some seeds can be soaked in normal water for 12-24 hours.

• All seeds, once pre-treated, need to be planted straight away. How do we plant the seeds?

• Some seeds that germinate readily can be sown directly into the field or into pots. Species that require special conditions to germinate are sown into a seedbed first.

• The time taken for germination depends on the seed type, the temperature, the amount of water available and the age of the seed.

• Generally sowing is done just before the rainy season starts.

• As a general guide, for direct sowing, seeds should be planted at a depth two to three times their diameter and should be covered firmly with soil. The soil should then be kept moist.

• Details on seedbeds are to follow. Do seedlings grow only from seeds? Some tree species produce root suckers (young plants growing from the mother plant’s roots). These can be cut and transplanted. Cuttings of some species can be used: take a young tree branch with at least three nodes or buds. Choose a long, healthy branch and make a clean, angled cut. Strip off the leaves. Plant the cutting in soil at least two nodal lengths deep, with at least one exposed. Keep it watered until sprouting occurs. Trees grown in this way will have the same characteristics as the parent tree and can be useful for making sure a productive fruit tree is grown. ENGLISH VERSION 6 Seedbed Preparation Seed sowing

• Some seeds that germinate readily can be sown directly into the field or into pots. Species that require special conditions to germinate are sown into a seedbed first.

• Remember that some seeds will require pretreatment.

• The time taken for germination depends on the seed type, the temperature, the amount of water available and the age of the seed.

• Generally sowing is done just before the rainy season starts.

• As a general guide, if seeds are being sowed directly into the field they should be planted at a depth two to three times their diameter and should be covered firmly with soil. The soil should then be kept moist. TIST would like to thank all of the members who have been supporting in building a strong Improved Stove Jiko program. We are learning more every day from members who have tested the stoves! What is an improved stove jiko? Improved stoves are jikos that use a lot less fuel wood than a three-stone fire, and save the household time and money for getting fuel wood. This also reduces deforestation and is better for the environment.When the jikos have chimneys that direct the smoke away from the cook, they improve the health of women and children who are normally breathing smoke in the kitchen. Over the last several months, TIST has been gathering information from members about what types of features would improve their jikos. Members have also been testing a few types of stoves:

• Portable Manufactured stoves: Jikopoa, Envirofit (one-pot, no chimney)

• Stationary Mud stove: Built by trained TIST members (2-pots, with chimney) All of the stoves showed that they use much less fuel than a three- stone fire. Many members who tested the stoves said they preferred to have a place for a second pot, and they wanted more stove options that have chimneys to improve their health. As a result, TIST has worked with stove manufacturers to offer new models which provide more options. Some of these new models have been installed in TIST areas around Mt. Kenya.TIST will now offer these additional models on a pilot basis:

• Envirofit Portable with two-pot /chimney attachment

• Envirofit Insert for Stationary Stove (improves fuel savings of the regular TIST mud stove) Current stove options:

• Portable Manufactured stoves: o Jikopoa, Envirofit - one-pot, no chimney o Envirofit with two-pot /chimney attachment

• Stationary Mud stove: built by trained TIST members o All clay; 2-pots, with chimney o Clay stove with Envirofit Insert (improves fuel savings of the regular TIST mud stove) To find out more about where you can see these stoves and how you and your cluster members can order stoves, contact: Charles Kamunya, Clay Stove Coordinator: 0724327794 James Mwai, Manufactured Stove Coordinator: 0715 460 195 Stove orders will be taken at the cluster meetings, so tell your cluster reps you are interested. Prices will be released as the stoves become available in the coming weeks. Photo: Portable Envirofit G-series stove with 2-pot chimney attachment. (Attachment sold separately.)
